R. Lopez de Heredia's Vina Tondonia Gran Reserva 1995 is produced in Rioja from a blend of Tempranillo (75%), Garnacha (15%) and a small percentage (10%) of both Mazuelo and Graciano. Its beautiful red color is vibrant and has amber reflections. The aromas of dried berries and vanilla are enticing.

The 2012 Viña Tondonia Reserva comes from a very dry year, with 25% less rain than the average (at the time), resulting in lower yields of very healthy grapes that delivered wines with nice balance between alcohol and polyphenols, making it very apt for the aging in barrel. It had a slightly longer élevage in barrel, six years. The wine is aromatic with a developed profile, spicy and tertiary (forest floor, a touch of brick dust and iodine), complex and nuanced. The palate is full and round, with polished tannins and a long, dry finish. It has a textbook Tondonia nose and profile.

Complex aromas of cherries, figs, and spices with some fresh flowers give way to a medium-to-full body with a creamy tannic texture and a tart cherry aftertaste. Slightly chewy on the finish with fine tannins. It is very drinkable and refreshing, yet has a nice tannic backbone.

The winery’s flagship, the wine that introduced Muga to the world, the Muga Reserva is Tempranillo-dominant, with Garnacha, Mazuelo, and Graciano filling in the gaps. This offers tremendous quality, fermented in wooden vats using indigenous yeasts, the grapes separated by quality, soil type, and village origin. This one in particular is from a beautiful vintage and practically beams in full-bodied concentration, with supple, silky tannins and light touches of oak spice, cedar, balsamic, and white pepper.

A crianza with body and character that is made from 90% Tempranillo, 10% Graciano, Mazuelo and Garnacha grapes which came from 30 years old vineyards. A new way to understand the crianza wines.

A new wine from the Vina Real winery, the Bakeder is a village red produced with Tempranillo grapes from Laguardia.

On the nose, this reveals enticing aromas of blackberries, black cherries, and a touch of vanilla. The palate is rich and well-balanced, with flavors of dark fruits, hints of spice, and a subtle oak influence. Velvety tannins and a long, smooth finish complete the tasting experience. Orube's Rioja Crianza is a versatile wine that pairs well with roasted meats, aged cheeses, or simply enjoyed on its own.

Ostatu Rosado is an incredible value and introduction to their range of wines. It says something about a winery when they pursue excellence from the beginning of their range to the top. For this reason, Ostatu Rosado is one of the most beloved pink Rioja Alavesa wines, offering a very different experience than many other rosado wines from Rioja that are often made as an afterthought.

This is a wine that explores the fresher side of what Rioja can be. In the foothills of the Iregua Valley, where the main tributary of the Ebro River flows in the heart of La Rioja, Daniel Rodriquez and his cousin Alejandro, have created a new winery that's seen its wines landing on Michelin-starred winelists all across Europe. Working with two vineyards that face each other across the Iregua tributary - both at high elevation - that are planted with very old vines of Tempranillo and Garnacha, they've crafted a succulent expression of Rioja that shows plenty of juicy red fruits, fresh herbs, and a spicy & floral kick on the finish.

José Luis Ripa Sáenz de Navarrete has seen the ins and outs of Rioja and knows its wine making history like no one else, having worked for many years with some of the most reputable houses in the region (full disclosure, he is married to Maria Jose Lopez de Heredia). He makes just one wine, this aged rosé from a hectare of vines in the Najerilla Valley, in Rioja Alta. It’s primarily Garnacha with a small amount of Tempranillo. This is complex, layered and finely spiced with nuts, spice and marmalade, as well as some citrus notes. Very detailed with a wonderful savory quality, as well as some taut citrus fruit, a touch of pear skin, and also some cherry hints. It has been dubbed the new Tondonio rosé.

Named after the Basque word for “made by hand,” the 2022 Landua comes from a mix of different nearby villages, all close to the mountains with influence from the Atlantic Ocean. Mostly Tempranillo, in the old-vine vineyards planted between 50 and 80 years ago there’s also Graciano, Garnacha, a few white varieties, and some unknown varieties that all go into the final bottle. Red fruit-forward, it is drinkable upon release, with very soft, textured, and layered red fruit, graphite, a touch of herb, and an undeniably ethereal quality.
