Telmo Rodriguez, Altos Lanzaga Gran Vinedo 2012

Deep red in color and enticing on the nose with aromas of ripe black fruit, spice, and a hint of wood. Creamy and full on the palate, with blackberry, blackcurrant, and a warm note, supported by fine tannins and fresh acidity. The finish is long and elegant. A beautiful Rioja with subtle woody notes and brilliantly pure fruit.

Winemaker

Telmo Rodríguez is considered one of Spain's most innovative winemakers. Telmo often works with local grape varieties planted as bush vines. This traditional method provides sufficient shade for the leaves, preventing the sun from "cooking" the grapes, resulting in a fresher and less "jampy" wine. Telmo is also renowned for revitalizing old vineyards where various varieties are planted together. These "field blends" are among the gems of his range.
