Sergio's Pick

Another stunner from our favorite Rioja producer. On the nose, bright aromas of dark cherries, raspberries, and baking spices, layered with classic undertones of fine leather and tobacco. On the dry, medium-bodied palate, a juicy entry of dark fruits is framed by velvety tannins and a distinct chalky minerality. Vibrant, refreshing acidity balances the savory profile, leading to a clean, elegant, and beautifully structured finish.
 
Located in the cooler, high-elevation zone of Rioja Alta near Haro, the property functions as a true "château style" winery, working strictly with 6.5 hectares of 100% estate-owned vines. Embracing an ultra-classic, low-intervention approach, they eschew modern technologies in favor of manual harvesting, ambient yeasts, and extended aging in neutral American oak barrels. The resulting wines are highly artisanal and celebrated for showcasing the authentic, savory, and fresh character of old-school Rioja.
