This young Rioja is surprisingly very approachable.
Dark purple in color with a purple rim.
Full bodied, smooth and elegant, with medium acidity.
Dry and fruit forward with nice complexity.
Showing black currants, plums, tobacco, licorice, light oak, spices, chocolates, coffee and peppercorn.
Medium minus on the finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
Would be nice to revisit it in 3 years.
Tangy and good by itself or with food.
14% alcohol by volume.

Big, bold, rich Rioja, tobacco and dark cherry flavor, great “meat dish” pair, in our case, it went very well with a Cochinita Lasagna. — 2 years ago
Palette of peach, apricot, some green apple. Rose petal. Nice structure and acidity. Long finish.
Grassy, hay notes on the nose.
Peach, green apple, touch of lemon.
An extraordinary wine. Beautiful and surprising. — 4 years ago
I’ve always found white Rioja quite unique amongst white wine. They possess an oxidative quality which really sets them apart and perfect for aperitivos. The oxidative note is like a trifecta: opens the appetite, pairs well with sweet fruit and salty jamón. — 2 months ago

Kurt rec. would get again. Fuller bodied but still bright. Not the best but a nice repeat. Especially summer. — 21 days ago
