Lagar de Cervera

Lagar de Cervera

This is a family concern and a subsidiary of La Rioja Alta SA which was established in 1890 and is based in the town of Haro in the region of Rioja. In 1988 the company purchased the facilities and vineyards of Fernandez Cervera in Pontevedra, transforming them over time into the largest and most modern bodega in DO Rias Baixas which was finally completed in 2013.

Now renamed Lagar de Fornelos, there are a little over 65 hectares producing high-quality wines from the Albariño vines, both pergola and wire-trained, in the O Rosal area. Only 60% of the grapes' juice is used, ensuring the utmost purity of flavour in Lagar de Cervera. The modern winery has a variety of stainless steel tanks to make just two white wines ( Lagar de Cervera and Pazo de Seoane Rosal), and a distillation room with traditional pot stills which produces Galician 'orujo', a grappa or eau-de-vie spirit which is a traditional Galician speciality.

Vintage guide

Always difficult to generalise about Spain but 2022 saw high temperatures and an early harvest of clean grapes, the early signs look good. The 2021 vintage is very good after a warm dry season with wines showing good concentration and aromatics. A wet first half of the 2020 vintage meant a lot of work in the vineyard was needed but a better, more consistent second half resulted in some juicy young wines with those ageing in barrel looking very promising. A very good year, 2019 had warm dry conditions but yields were limited by a tricky flowering period. A cooler and wetter year than other recent vintages has endowed the wines of 2018 with greater freshness and lower alcohols. Across the country the wines are showing good aromatics, plenty of weight, and a juicy fresh character. Growers had a complex year in 2017 having to contend with frost, hail and drought. Yields are down as a result, but the picture overall is of good quality particularly in Galicia and the South, Penedès also performed well. The 2016 vintage was pretty good on the whole with Ribera del Duero, Rioja and Rueda having excellent results. 2015 was heralded as the best vintage across Spain in recent years, and particularly so in the north. 2014 saw some good wines made with a little rain in the second half of harvest and low yields. This came after the potentially great 2013 vintage which has given fresh, vibrant, robust wines.
