Red Blend from Alavesa, La Rioja
Building in seriousness over the two playful entry level wines. The tannin profile much longer with a little more depth. More development and complexity shows in an earthy and savoury profile. This will build with a little time. A little spice and a delicate layer of well weighted oak at play.The 2022 Finca de Los Locos is slightly riper than the 2021, with 14% alcohol and a rounder mouthfeel. It matured in 3,500-liter oak vats for one year. It feels young and primary but surprisingly
Tempranillo from Alavesa, La Rioja
Moving into a more blue fruited profile over the 2022 Artuke 'Paso Las Mãnas', plush long even mouthfeel, nutty ripe tannins, a little savoury play. Beautifully balanced with super fine long acid. A faint lick of oak tannin adding evenness to the tannin profile. 100% Temp from 750-800mm ASL. Plenty more to come as this builds and lengthen with time. A nice step commensurate with the coin.The 2022 Paso Las Mañas was selected from the 3.9 hectares of Tempranillo and has similar parameter
White Blend from Alavesa, La Rioja
Mostly Viura with a splash of Malvasia and Palomino in the blend. Chalky acid with a little phenolic grip. Perfumed with jasmine nectar and grapefruit notes., Maple syrup, tea and a pinch of baking spices. A fascinating drink. Excellent acid profile over a mid-weight frame. A little oxidative handling offers nutty and toasty pops whilst the wine remains fresh. An energising approach, quite different to the super oxidative Viuras. A ripping incarnation.The 2022 Finca de Los Locos is s
The estate red 2015 Reserva was produced with Tempranillo, Garnacha and Graciano from their 86 hectares of vineyards. It's from an early harvest after a warm and dry year that achieved perfect ripeness with some rain at the end of the cycle. It fermented with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel and oak vats and matured in barrel for 21 months. It combines youth with development, power with elegance and comes through as clean and defined, with a medium to full-bodied palate, focused flavors and
Red Blend from Alavesa, La Rioja
The flow, harmony, fine long fruit and acid entranced. An edgy grip works well in a cleansing way. Super juicy, fine, refreshing with so much energy, vibrant and long. This will settle into something delicious. Savoury, meaty play going on, building into some forest floor. Tightly wound with plenty more to come. This is well worth having a look at, a demonstration of the new Rioja!El Escolladero is a vineyard planted in 1950 in the village of Ábalos at 660 meters in altitude. As with mo
Red Blend from Alavesa, La Rioja
A blend of Tempranillo and Graciano. Exceptionally long, fine and fresh with a stunning elegant acid line. Beautifully balanced. Red to blue fruits with a little licorice. Darkness with the red fruit layering over the top. The faintest lick of oak will undoubtedly be lapped up in just a short time. Layered and flowing. I’d love to see the tannins in 3-5 years and the expression. This is well worth having a look at. A demonstration of the new Rioja!El Escolladero is a vineyard plan
Red Blend from Alavesa, La Rioja
Trying 2021 ‘La Conenada’s’ brother 'El Escolladero' along with a few other wines from the Artuke range was enough to convince me to grab a couple of boxes. I've not looked back.The 2022 'La Condenada is a little more tightly coiled with a chalky acid profile needing time to resolve. Excellent transparency through an elegant fruit profile of fine red fruits with sold depth and length. Opening in the glass beautifully, building mid-palate weight and length with a fantail finish. Flowi
The 2015 Granja Remelluri Gran Reserva is a blend of Tempranillo and Garnacha from their estate vineyards. It fermented with indigenous yeasts and matured in barrels of different origins and sizes for 27 to 29 months. The wine shows superb, an undated style of Gran Reserva, using grapes from the three different valleys they have in Remelluri to create their grand vin. It has a classical style, but the oak and the evolution is slower, and the texture shows more of the limestone from the soils. Th
