Description
In a nutshell:
Think juicy raspberries and a tickle of spice - a Rioja that adds a splash of sunshine to your glass, whatever the weather.
The lowdown:
Bright red fruits abound like juicy cherries and raspberries with just a hint of spice. This Rioja comes from vineyards in the cooler climes of Rioja Alta. Made entirely from Tempranillo grapes, it undergoes a short maceration followed by stainless steel fermentation and ageing. Unoaked and youthful, the emphasis here is on pure fruit. This fresh, vibrant wine offers remarkable value and easy-drinking appeal.
The Producer:
Boutinot, the guys responsible for this wine, is a big name in the UK's wine scene and are behind many labels seen on shelves up and down the country. Paul Boutinot kicked things off in 1980, starting with importing wines and soon partnering with winemakers around the globe. They've since gone on to produce their own wines from places like the Rhône Valley, Italy, South Africa and many other places. Their secret is in backing passionate winemakers who aren't afraid to push the envelope, always aiming for wines that really capture the essence of their regions. This, along with providing excellent value for money, is something they've really nailed.
When to drink:
This young, fruit-driven wine is delightful to sip on its own, but don't hesitate to pour a glass alongside grilled burgers, a comforting bowl of lasagne, or a spread of cheese and charcuterie. It's a very versatile choice.
Suitable for Vegans
