DESCRIPTION
A smooth and fruity modern unoaked style of Rioja.
The lowdown:
Made under the guidance of German Blanco of Quinta Milu, their first vintage was in 2015. His wines are about the grapes and how to get the fruit character expressed to the full and see the freshness and brightness come through on the smooth body and silky tannins.
When to drink:
This is a highly drinkable, organic Rioja that's great with grilled fish and meat and can be served just slightly below room temperature.

PRODUCER
Quinta Milu
Ribera del Duero is an area known for big reputations, big wines, and big oak influence. However the young winemaker German Blanco champions a fresher style of Tinto del Pais - the local name for Tempranillo. More recently he's established a project in nearby Rioja with the same aims in mind.
He calls his project a 'Micro-winery' and it is a true family business, based around the village of La Aguilera in the Burgos province. He works with very old vineyards, many of which are planted at over 900 metres above sea level. German makes his elegant, fruit-forward wines using foot-treading, wild yeast fermentation and minimal handling. All his wines share a delicious rusticity, purity of fruit, and incredible freshness. They have quickly become Indigo classics, and we see this as a project of enormous potential and value.
