The Wine

Country of origin:

Spain

Region:

Rioja

This stunning Finca los Principes release was crafted by a super-talented winemaker from an outstanding single vineyard of old Tempranillo and Garnacha vines. It's a Rioja that pays homage to the traditional style of Rioja but one with a spring in its step. This smooth raspberry and cranberry-kissed wine is a beauty with lithe fruit notes and no ugly lingering tannins or woodwork. If you like unruffled, languid reds with silky notes and haunting mulberry and fresh herb flavours then this is your wine.

The Winemaker

Pilar Avellanas
Winemaker:

Pilar Avellanas

From an old bodega of prime vineyards in Alfaro, Rioja, that has an enviable reputation for making first class wines in the traditional Rioja style. Wine has been made here for six generations now. What can we tell you about Rioja that you don't already know? Spain's pre-eminent wine region has long held the crown, producing wines that were aged both in cask and bottle, according to a rigid quality scheme, to deliver the utmost satisfaction. Wines that would far rather give you a great big, warm hug than ask you if you'd spilled their pint.

"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." Andrew Baker - Wine Buyer.
