点评:Today we toured the vineyards and winery of Bodegas Riko in Avda Pla de la Sèquia, 33 in Xaló. Wow! What a fun, informative, interesting experience for our whole family. Marina, our tour guide, is a talented, enthusiastic, knowledgeable and personable winemaker and works with her brother, Óscar and her lovely parents.
Marina and Óscar are 4th generation winemakers and are truly passionate about what they do. We saw grape vines that have been producing wine for 70-90 years. After touring the vineyard, we learned about how the grapes are harvested and pressed. We saw the fermentation vats and then went down into the wine cellar to see the giant barrels and clay vases where the wine is stored while it is aging.
During our tour, we learned about the challenges of improving from systemic farming to organic farming. This family has been working hard to protect the environment and eliminate the use of pesticides while simultaneously creating outstanding wines with rich, natural, refreshing flavors.
Marina invited us into her beautiful home and we were able to try 7 different wines and loved them all. She also treated us to some yummy local appetizers to accompany the wine. Our favorite wines are the Renaix La Passió, a fresh dry Moscatel white wine and the Mistela Uva Sombremadura, an incredible, popular dessert wine that is truly delicious and a joy to savor. If you like red wines, Riko makes 2 delightful choices: El Tassolet de Xaló and Renaix De Giró.
If you are in Dènia, Moraira, Calp, Altea or Benidorm for a lovely beach vacation, I highly recommend that you book a tour with the Bodegas Riko Winery and take a day trip to Xaló. This family loves their community and works to support other small businesses. In their store, they also have local grown almonds, figs, honey, and delicious jams from other farmers.

玛丽娜和奥斯卡是第四代酿酒师,他们对自己的工作充满热情。我们看到了已经酿酒70-90年的葡萄藤。参观完葡萄园后,我们了解了葡萄的采摘和压榨过程。我们看到了发酵桶,然后走进酒窖,看到了巨大的木桶和粘土花瓶,葡萄酒在陈酿过程中存放在那里。
在我们的参观过程中,我们了解了从系统农业向有机农业改进的挑战。这个家族一直致力于保护环境、杜绝农药的使用,同时酿造出口感丰富、自然、清爽的优质葡萄酒。
玛丽娜邀请我们来到她美丽的家,我们品尝了 7 种不同的葡萄酒,并且都很喜欢。她还请我们享用了一些美味的当地开胃菜来搭配葡萄酒。我们最喜欢的葡萄酒是 Renaix La Passió(一种新鲜的干莫斯卡特尔白葡萄酒)和 Mistela Uva Sombremadura(一种令人难以置信的、受欢迎的甜点酒,真正美味且令人愉悦地品尝)。如果您喜欢红酒,Riko 提供 2 款令人愉悦的选择:El Tassolet de Xaló 和 Renaix De Giró。
如果您在德尼亚、莫莱拉、卡尔普、阿尔特亚或贝尼多姆度过一个愉快的海滩假期,我强烈建议您预订 Bodegas Riko 酒庄之旅,并前往 Xaló 进行一日游。这个家庭热爱他们的社区,并致力于支持其他小企业。他们的商店里还有当地种植的杏仁、无花果、蜂蜜和其他农民生产的美味果酱。
