The Wine

Country of origin:

Spain

Region:

Rioja

Crafted from 100% estate-grown grapes, all hand-harvested in small batches to ensure they are in perfect condition upon arrival at the winery. 95% Tempranillo with the lesser-known of the Rioja varietals, Mazuelo, making up the rest. A long ageing process in top-notch French and American barriques, and in the bottle, respectively, before being released at optimum readiness to drink. That's not to say it won't provide excellent drinking for years to come. Like most Riojas - pair with food to get the full enjoyment.

The Winemaker

Borja Ripa and Victor Fernádez de Manzanos
Winemaker:

Borja Ripa and Victor Fernádez de Manzanos

The Manzanos Family Estate is wholeheartedly devoted to the production of top-class wine. Heir of the winemaking tradition, our wineries are the fruit of the work, effort and experience of six generations of winemakers from the Fernández de Manzanos family. We work with such a level of care and passion, encompassing new trends & consumer taste, at the same time retaining tradition, to produce high quality wines with abundant personality and style. Sustainability and integration is our philosophy.

"Long maceration of 28 days at a controlled temperature and 24 months ageing in American and French oak casks, half and half, followed by a further 12 months rounding off in the bottle. This has all gone to produce a wine with great body and extract." - Borja Ripa, Winemaker.
