Here's an exciting new Rioja estate, based in Lanciego (Rioja Alavesa) that's specializing in modern, single parcel wines of exceptional purity, structure and intensity. Here, in the "middle level" bottling, 100 year-old vine Garnacha, Tempranillo, Mazuelo, Viura and Graciano are given a gentle, hands-off treatment to create a sumptuous, ageworthy Rioja that emphasizes site and vintage rather than excessive amounts of oak, which is kept to a minimum in all MacRobert & Canals wines. We're guessing that in a couple of years, the wines of this wonderful new firm will be in high demand. Outstanding!
