La Rioja, Spain
Having had so many Rioja Alta & Lopez over the years, it’s genuinely eye opening to experience an old school Rioja that’s new- & different. How it is hard to qualify—perhaps fair to say it cuts down the middle of those two producers. Fresh, deep, medium bodied—tar, violets, wild blackberries, they’re so integrated nothing stands out but it does play as harmonious. Absolutely enchanting.

Hearty like only a Rioja can be. A nice pairing with Emi Roth cheese.
