Type: Tempranillo / Tinta Roriz
A charismatic creation this little Carrizal is. Following in the footsteps of its Reserva predecessor, this is a creamy, vanilla-filled treasure that you will effortlessly sink into. An affordable and crave-worthy Crianza.
Type: Tempranillo / Tinta Roriz
Not only is this Rioja very wallet-friendly, it's also lusciously modern with a fresh fruity style that sets it apart from the knackered old oaky monsters that characterise the worst points of old Rioja. This vintage is great - lively and pure.
Type: Grenache
A vintage sequel to the incredibly impressive Zinio 2009. This beauty is still from the same precious plot of fine, old Garnacha vines, but with even more succulent fruit to delight. This is a perfumed treasure that we are glad we begged Maria to create!
Type: Grenache blends
Dive in to this heady cocktail of wild blackberries, raspberries and violet tones and you can't fail to be impressed. It's a modern take on traditional Rioja and certainly promises to ignite your passion for this highly desirable style.
Type: Tempranillo / Tinta Roriz
With age and distinction on their side, Rioja create the most comforting wines out there. This fine example is just that. Full of soft fruit flavours and a seductive edge, this wine will stand the test of time and make any occasion special.
Type: Tempranillo / Tinta Roriz
With a name that is as much a mouthful as the wine itself, this is made from the little known and seldom seen Maturana Tinta grape. A delectable and truly vivid wine, drenched in rich black berry fruit with a persistent chocolaty core.
Type: Tempranillo blends
Perfectly mature silky smooth Spanish gem that has a unique ability to almost massage your palate. 2005 was a very good vintage for all concerned in and around the city of Valencia - this resulting wine is perfectly balanced and after careful ageing is drinking deliciously now.
Type: Tempranillo blends
This is single vineyard stock, from the La Caņada block, a small piece of hallowed turf that Pilar, the winemaker, singled out for us. We asked for a top-drawer young wine - she delivered a wine with juicy freshness and a bright purity that shines in the glass.
Type: Tempranillo blends
This is single vineyard stock, from the El Valle block, a small plot that Gorka, the winemaker, had singled out for us right away. We requested a cracker of a wine, perfect for Summer supping, and Gorka has come up trumps producing a juicy, fresh wine packed with dark fruits but a shining purity.
Type: Tempranillo blends
It reads Rioja Crianza on the label, but this doesn't begin to tell us the precision afforded on this wine. Only fruit from antediluvian vineyards was used, hand-picked almost to the berry. Not to be confused with big, branded Rioja found on supermarket shelves as there's so much more here.
