DESCRIPTION
A lovely fresh, youthful Rioja with ripe cherry and berry fruit flavours and hints of spice.
The lowdown:
95% Tempranillo with just a little Garnacha goes into this and it spends 6 months in French and American oak before bottling which mellows the primary fruit flavours and gives it a nicely rounded texture and good complexity. All together it's medium bodied, soft, rounded and approachable.
When to drink:
It might be one of our less expensive Riojas, but it's certainly got plenty coing on. Great with ragouts, or bolognaise sauces.

PRODUCER
Bodegas Manzanos

On the border between Rioja and Navarre, Victor Fernádez de Manzanos carries on the work of the four generations before him. Adding in significant amounts of ambition and energy, he is at the forefront of the new Rioja championing a modern interpretation of its varieties through his wines. Since 2010 the business has been run by Victor, his wife Laura and his brother David. Between them they've transformed the company, bringing it squarely into the 21st century while retaining all the best apsects built up by the earlier generations.
As a grower, Victor is keen to prove that Rioja Baja has its own distinct character and should not be judged as inferior to Rioja Alta or Alavesa - just different. With over 250ha of owned vineyards at his disposal, including what he claims to be the oldest Graciano vines in the world, Victor and the team at Manzanos are fortunately placed to put both the sub-region and the name Manzanos firmly on the map of the most important producers in Rioja.
The family cultivates the traditional varietals of Rioja - Tempranillo, Garnacha, Graciano, Mazuelo and Viura - and craft wines with a real sense of place and authenticity.
The vines are planted on clay-limestone soil, at an average height of 400m. The extreme climate, wet and cold winters combined with dry hot summers, offer the perfect conditions for the production of great wines.
