Rioja, SpainTasted again a few months along, and this tidy Rioja Alavesa blend of tempranillo, garnacha and mazuelo is still an easy-midweek choice. Soft black fruit is brightened with cherry and a swing of balsamic. Tannins are smoothed with a light dusty, stony and lightly smoky note through this youthful red. After a stainless ferment, this is transferred to French and American oak for 12-14 months. There's a bitter dark cocoa twist on the warming finish that keeps this slender wine upright and ready for burgers.Tasted: 21 November 2018Tasted by: Prices:

Rioja, SpainSoft black fruit, bright cherry, balsamic, light smoke, stone dust in this youthful, well-integrated Rioja from the Alavesa area. After a stainless ferment, this is transferred to French and American oak for 12-14 months. Tannins are slight and sticky, and acidity is bright and lifted on this tempranillo base, one splashed with garnacha, graciano and mazuelo. There's a bitter dark cocoa twist on the finish that keeps this slender wine upright and ready for food.Tasted: 26 March 2018Tasted by: Prices:
