Never thought I'd be truly enjoying any Rioja. But this: un-oaked and made by a Frenchman is an astonishing expression of an undervalued & overworked terroir. Deep, dynamic, vibrant fucker.

50/50 blend of tempranillo & graciano that sees no wood, not needed, it's just delicious, wonderful fruit shining thru.

Doesn't come more red fruit than this. Very typical Tempranillo and without oak can taste the vivid raspberry and strawberry compote on palate.Lots of fun to be had! Wears the alcohol well at 14%
