This wine is a blend of Tempranillo, Graciano (Gra-thee-ano), and Garnacha. Bright and juicy with licorice notes, this wine would go great with grilled sausage (with fennel seed) and pepper sandwiches and a fennel salad with a honey balsamic vinaigrette. This expression of Rioja comes from the subregion of Rioja Alavesa, grown from clay and calcareous vineyard sites.

Details

Compañía de Vinos Telmo Rodriguez was founded in 1994.
Telmo - a self-professed “driving winemaker”- came to Rioja searching for the soul of the region, returning to the villages where a few special plots express themselves. Lanciego is a village in the foothills of the Sierra de Cantabria mountains, reflecting the contrasting contributions of the Mediterranean and the Atlantic influences. Native grape varieties, grown on the best soils and subject to the best viticulture
are the philosophical tenets, allowing the wines to express their innate qualities thanks to simple, but
scientifically-grounded winemaking.
RIOJA || Rioja was the first Spanish wine region to obtain DO status, in 1925. In 1991, it was
promoted to DOCa (Qualified Designation of Origin), a higher category reserved for wines maintaining
a proven consistency and quality over a long period of time. Rioja has three distinct subregions (Alavesa,
Alta & Baja) as well as stylistic diversity ranging from the traditional oxidative wines to the full throttle
modern style.

“The 2020 LZ comes from an early harvest after a warm year not without challenges (mildew).
The Tempranillo, Garnacha and Graciano grapes come from their own organically farmed
vineyards and fermented in concrete vats with indigenous yeasts for 15 days; the wine matured
in concrete for six to seven months before bottling. It’s very primary and has notes of licorice
and a juicy texture. Pablo Eguzkiza was telling me he likes 2020 better than 2019. The wine
shows very good balance and fine, round tannins. ” - Luis Gutierrez
