The Essentials Gravity-led transfer is the working method tied to Elena Adell’s Rioja practice, shaping how aroma and texture are carried through the winery. In Campo Viejo, where she served as head winemaker, and at Azpilicueta as winemaker, that approach sat alongside a career rooted in the same city she was born in.

The cited bottlings in Elena Adell’s portfolio are Viña Alcorta Tempranillo Crianza 2001, Alcorta & Carme Ruscalleda Rosado 2011, Alcorta & Carme Ruscalleda Blanco 2011, and Alcorta & Carme Ruscalleda Tinto 2008.

In Their Words Elena Adell’s account of the new winery is direct: moving grapes and wine by gravity, without pressure, is presented as a way to hold onto aroma and deliver a better feel on the palate. That is the production logic she names as the gain in the process.
