Gil Berzal 'Recoveco San Julian' Rioja Alavesa 2019

Gil Berzal 'Recoveco San Julian' Rioja Alavesa 2019A single vineyard field blend of 70% Tempranillo and 30% Viura planted on super chalky clay soils in 1955. Aged 18 months in French oak. Deep, dark, luscious black cherry and mocha notes that really delivers. Though it's a rich wine it is matched with lots of detailed tannins. Impressive Rioja from a small, independent minded grower in Laguardia. Organic with biodynamic and regenerative practices. Jonathan Kemp

The 'À L'Air Libre' is 80% Seyval Blanc and 20% Muscat

In the glass you can also feel more because the fermentations are made with yeasts indigenous grown from our countryside

since the lower acidity is easier on an empty stomach
