Familia Monje Amestoy Biga de Luberri Crianza 2017
Rioja, SpainFlorentino Martinez Monje started off life as a grape supplier before deciding to set up his own winery in Rioja Alavesa. Few know as much about the region as he does, nor how to get the best out of the local vineyards. With an intimate understanding of the 32 hectares he farms, he remains a farmer first and foremost. This Tempranillo spent one year in American and French oak. Ripe and fleshy with dark cherry, cassis, light toast, candle wax on a fuller palate, held with firm, striated tannins which take this to a bitter cherry spiced finish. Modern styled, traditionally based, drinking very well now.Tasted: 30 August 2021Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| ON | $25.50 | 750ml | consignment |
