Rioja, Spain

From the hot Rioja Baja but at 700m altitude, a blend of Tempranillo and Graciano with 24 months in wood. A rich, muscular wine with deep, satisfying fruit.

Intense, highlighting red fruits such as cherries and raspberries in perfect harmony with mineral touches, spicy and toasted. Aromatic complexity. Palate: silky and powerful. Mineral shades attached to soft and elegant tannins. Aftertaste: long and persistent finish.

Made from 100% old vine Tempranillo from the high altitude Rioja Alavesa creating a wine with style and finesse. A deep plum and black fruit palate, accompanied by toasty oak and a black cherry, clove and cinnamon bouquet. A wine with great aging potential.

The Campeador wines from Martinez Lacuesta have an extra depth of rustic flavour. Mainly Garnacha and with 24 months in wood, it shows ripe, cakey fruit.

Delicious berry flavours are complemented by dark chocolate notes, produced during the 24 months this excellent example of a Rioja spends in barrel.
