Rioja can be lots of different things, including fresh, fruit-filled, and as easy to drink every day as a good Cru Beaujolais. While this blend of Tempranillo, 20% Garnacha and 5% white grapes aged in oak, it’s not oaky at all. There’s lots of Garnacha’s rich red fruit with Tempranillo’s depth and hints of jasmine and sandalwood. A bit of grainy tannin lets it handle rich food but doesn’t get in the way of solo sipping. Sophisticated fun sums it up!
For You If: You like Cru Beaujolais like Morgon or Moulin-a-Vent but want something a bit more savory; you enjoy the flavors of Rioja but want less woody aroma and oak tannin grip.
Not For You If: You’re after “old school” oaky Rioja like Lopez de Heredia; you want a big, plush, mouthfeel and lots of grip.
"The house red 2020 Tinto showed superbly. It's a blend of Tempranillo from the Obarenes Mountains (Sajazarra and Fonzaleche) with 20% Garnacha from Cárdenas on clay and some 5% white that has 14.2% alcohol but feels perfectly balanced and integrated. It has a serious, harmonious nose with complexity and depth but also youth. It has a soft and juicy texture with focused and clean flavors, finishing with an almost salty twist. Super tasty and easy to drink! Great value too. It matured in a mixture of 1,000- and 3,000-liter oak foudres and 225- and 500-liter barrels. 22,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in February 2022."
