More about this wine from Rioja, Spain
The Rioja region in northern Spain has been making wine since the Roman times and is arguably the country’s most popular wine region. Like the Nexo, red wines from the area are typically made from Tempranillo and Garnacha grapes that grow in Rioja’s pebble-filled soils. Instead of fruity notes, Rioja’s red wines have more pronounced flavors of coconut, vanilla and sweet spice due to the extensive use of oak barrels for aging.

This young release from Rioja, Spain is extremely bright and fresh. The wine has an explosive red character showing notes of red cherry, red plum and red apple skin. There is also a sweet and sour combo that may remind you of strawberry-rhubarb. Fresh tobacco leaves, rich potting soil and a green note of trimmed privet come through as well. The wine is medium bodied and perfect to enjoy now.
