A modern, fresh style, but with a touch of classical Rioja (2011 Vintage)
"A bodega set up in 2007 by Rioja's Bodegas Muriel, this comes from 40- to 70-year old vines and along with fresh red berries and a touch of tobacco, there are some nutty and smoky qualities. Juicy, crisp fruit and a nicely-judged kiss of vanilla balance nicely in a modern, fresh style, but with a touch of classical Rioja fragrance and richness too.
