Stored bottles lay in a wine cellar during season of grape harvest in La Rioja

Thousands of stored bottles lay at Castillo de Mendoza wine cellar in San Vicente de la Sonsierra, northern Spain, October 12, 2005. In the geographical border between the craggy northern and the flat central Spain, straddling the river Ebro, Rioja region enjoys a mild and temperate climate and its wines are considered the best of the peninsula. Last year around 120 million kilos (264 million pounds) were collected in La Rioja, this means 40 % of the total wine of Spain which is produced in around 1400 wineries registered at the Rioja Designation of Origin Organisation.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing sight of thousands of stored bottles in a wine cellar during the grape harvest season in La Rioja, Spain. The Castillo de Mendoza wine cellar, located in San Vicente de la Sonsierra, serves as a testament to the region's rich winemaking heritage. Nestled between the rugged landscapes of northern Spain and the flat plains of central Spain, La Rioja benefits from a mild and temperate climate that is ideal for cultivating grapes. Renowned for its exceptional wines, this region is considered to produce some of the finest vintages on the Iberian Peninsula. The sheer abundance depicted in this image reflects La Rioja's significant contribution to Spain's overall wine production. Last year alone, an astounding 120 million kilos (264 million pounds) of grapes were harvested here—equivalent to 40% of Spain's total output. With approximately 1,400 registered wineries under the Rioja Designation of Origin Organisation, it is evident that winemaking holds great importance within this picturesque region. Photographed by Pablo Sanchez on October 12th, 2005, this picture not only showcases rows upon rows of meticulously stored bottles but also symbolizes centuries-old traditions passed down through generations. It encapsulates both the artistry and dedication involved in producing world-class wines while offering viewers a glimpse into La Rioja's vinicultural legacy.
