Grape Variety

Tempranillo

Producer

Gomez de Segura

This Tempranillo-based Rioja is made using the carbonic maceration technique. The grapes are not crushed before fermentation which allows an intracellular reaction within the grape gradually causing them to burst, mixing with the yeast and starting fermentation in the traditional manner. This process gives vibrant fruit flavours and softer tannins. The 2021 is medium in body with mouth-watering acidity and a fine, chalky texture. Notes of earthy dark fruit define the nose and linger on the palate. 2023-2025–JB
