Bodegas Frontonio

Microcósmico Macabeo 2019

Los vinos de Bodega Frontonio, no dejan de impresionarme. Gran trabajo en secano de uva Macabeo (Viura en Rioja) en la zona de Épila, con viñas de 60-65 años. Crianza en cemento durante 6 meses. Vinos que buscan toda la expresión natural de la cepa y el terroir. Color amarillo pálido verdoso. Aromas flores blancas, sobretodo Jazmín, minerales y frutas blancas de hueso. Intensidad media. Boca gustosa, elegante, buena y equilibrada acidez, trago largo, mineral, con recuerdos a suelos calizo-arcillosos. — 5 years ago

Bodega Elías Mora

Viñas Elias Mora Toro Tempranillo 2012

Impressed by this wine and glad I bought a 6-pack--now I'm selling it at Woodberry. Has the cherry, herbs, and wet Earth I like about Rioja with a little more asphalt and pencil shavings. Mucked up the label using Coravin. How long until Coravin is an examinable service method? 😜 — 9 years ago

Marqués de Los Rios

Blanco Reserva Rioja 2016

What a terrific white Rioja this is! Bottled by Morrisons and produced by Baron de Ley, though I strongly suspect this is the ‘Tres Viñas’ Reserva that they themselves bottle.

Aromas of nectarine, honey, caramel and vanilla. There is an element of petrichor / wet gravel on the palate that adds a refreshing quality. Medium acidity. Very full bodied, but not rich - has a strong minerality. Incredibly well balanced and long.

Bodegas San Alejandro

Las Rocas Viñas Viejas Calatayud Garnacha 2009

Dried bay leaves and cranberry, macerated strawberries. Potpuri feel. Subtle orange zest and nutmeg. Resolving tannins with an acid backbone carrying this citrus feel. Dried red berries. Has a Rioja feel, less the barrel program. Drink now. — 5 years ago

Vidonia Viñas Viejas Valle de la Orotava Listan Blanco 2012

Served double blind, the color was a brilliant, deep gold color and the bouquet was a touch wild with dried stone fruits and toasted almonds. On the palate, this came across quite fresh…and tropical! The predominate fruit character reminded me of dragon fruit a touch of lemon and an undeniable maritime influence in the form of ocean spray. The finish is bone dry and there is generous acidity. I actually found this to be even somewhat tannic? I figured there was a non-interventionalist approach to the winemaking. Regardless, I loved whatever this was despite really struggling to place it. Clearly, this was made in a more oxidative style but it didn’t really strike me as a Rioja. When this was revealed, I got really excited. I had never tried one of Luis Seabra’s wines before and now everything made sense. What a treat. Need more of this in my life! 100% Listán Blanco from vines over a century old. — 4 years ago

I think this wine comes from Tenerife in the Canary Islands.

@Bob McDonald you’re absolutely right! That’s what excited me. But now looking back, I wasn’t very clear I guess.

@Jay Kline I once bought some Listan Blanco and also some Listan Negro. I found them to be good value and quite mineral seeing as those islands are basically old volcanoes. I hope you enjoy the remainder of your collection.
