2019 Tentenublo Rioja Tinto DOCa, Spain
$25.99
Roberto Oliván and Leyre Ruiz of Tentenublo make honoring tradition look radical. A fourth-generation winegrower, Roberto farms 10 hectares composed of 30 parcels of vines in and around his and Leyre’s home village of Viñaspre, in Àlava province. This is the Basque part of Rioja -- the Rioja Alavesa. The vineyards contain a traditional mix of local red and white grapes: Tempranillo, Garnacha, Malvasía Riojana, Jaén Blanco, Viura, and more, planted on some of Rioja’s most interesting terroirs. They produce a unique and personal lineup that channel the energy and history of the land into long, laser-focused wines full of bright fruit, fresh earth, and pulsating mineral power.
