Description
In a nutshell:
A rich, velvety Rioja from the heart of Spains Rioja Oriental, packed with dark berries, vanilla, and a hint of spice, with just enough oak to keep things smooth and satisfying.
The lowdown:
Mostly Tempranillo with a splash of Garnacha, this is classic, easy-going Rioja. Six months in French and American oak adds a touch of spice and smooths out the ripe berry fruit, giving it that soft, rounded texture you look for in this sort of wine. Medium-bodied and mellow, it's nicely balanced with enough complexity to keep things interesting, but it stays approachable and food-friendly. One of those wines that feels polished without trying too hard.
The Producer:
Situated in the small town of Azagra, on the border of Navarra and Rioja, Bodegas Manzanos is uniquely positioned to produce wines from both renowned regions. Founded in 1890, the real transformation occurred in 2010 when Victor Fernández de Manzanos, his brother David, and Laura Mateo took the helm. They revitalised the winery, introducing cutting-edge equipment and expanding their facilities. Today, they manage several hundred hectares of vines, crafting a diverse array of wines. Their Finca Manzanos, Voché, and Castillo de Enériz ranges brilliantly showcase both contemporary and traditional winemaking styles, embodying the best of both worlds.
When to drink:
Great for everyday drinking, it's spot-on with Spanish classics like patatas a la riojana, lamb chops grilled over vine cuttings, or a simple chorizo stew - but honestly, it'll handle anything from a midweek pizza to roast chicken.
Suitable for Vegans
