Spiced dark cherries, dark earth, blue plums and a touch of peppercorns. Very ne-grained on the palate, with a full load of fresh, powdery tannins. Medium- to full-bodied with a tight grip of fruit and tannins. Excellent length.

Intense and nuanced, the 2021 Tinto is 85% Tempranillo, 13% Graciano and 2% Garnacha, sourced from vineyards nestled along the bank of the Ebro River in Laserna, Laguardia, Rioja Alavesa. Aged for 14 months in oak barrels, this purple wine reveals enticing notes of elderberry, sour cherry and blackberry, complemented by subtle balsamic hints against a well-integrated oak backdrop. On the palate, it is dry and juicy with fine-grained tannins, offering both energy and a weightless structural flow. This wine perfectly embodies the character of the river site, particularly evident in its structuresuitable for both modern and classical palates alike. -- Joaqun Hidalgo
