Description
In a nutshell:
Delivering traditional elegance and a hint of spice - perfect for those who prefer a touch of old-school charm in their glass.
The lowdown:
This Rioja evokes old cigar boxes and the sweet spice of baking. Ripe cherry and a hint of tobacco dance on the nose, leading to a silky palate of raisin and subtle oak. There's a pleasing structure, with soft tannins that hint at its time spent ageing. This isn't a young, brash Rioja. It's crafted from carefully nurtured Tempranillo grapes, slumbering in oak barrels, then further mellowed in the bottle. The winemakers understood that patience would be rewarded this is a wine of depth and contemplative charm.
The Producer:
Ontanon is one of those Rioja bodegas with genuine soul. They've been around for ages, yet retain a sense of artistic curiosity. You'll find traditional, age-worthy Rioja alongside more vibrant, fruit-forward styles. They're not afraid to experiment, like with their white Rioja fermented in amphorae. But there's always a clear thread of classic Rioja character - think spice, vanilla, and a touch of old leather. Add in the striking winery, packed with contemporary art, and you have a place that truly celebrates the best of Rioja, both old and new.
When to drink:
Open this Rioja when the sausages sizzle in the pan, its notes of spice and vanilla mingling with the rich, meaty scents.
