Telmo Rodriguez, LZ Rioja 2023

DOC Rioja

A fragrant wine with aromas of cherries and fresh forest fruits, with a refreshing spiciness. The palate is very juicy, a lovely balance of sweet fruit aromas and mild tannins at the finish.

The grapes are hand-picked from old bush vines (low, unsupported vines). Fermentation takes place using natural yeasts. The wine matures for 6 to 7 months in concrete vats.

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.
