Rated 96 by Wine Advocate
The single-vineyard 2021 La Estrada was produced with the field blend of grapes from a northeast-facing 0.64-hectare plot planted in the 1940s at 610 meters in altitude, one of the highest vineyards in the village of Lanciego. In 2021, they started harvesting the 10th of October. It fermented in 3,000-liter open-top oak vats with indigenous yeasts and matured in oak barrels and foudres for 14 to 16 months. It has 14% alcohol, all the 2021s have a little less alcohol, a pH of 3.67 and 4.57 grams of acidity. It has some spiciness and notes of flowers, herbs and wild berries, with contained ripeness, with slightly chalkier but firm tannins with tension, with a little more grip. This is a wine that ages nicely, and those "Italian" tannins get polished with time in bottle. This is their red with more Tempranillo, with a little Graciano and some white grapes but not much. 1,941 bottles produced. It was bottled in May 2023.

Rated 93 by Wine Spectator
A creamy, fluid red, layering fine, sculpted tannins with well-spiced flavors of black currant, dried fig, tarragon and white pepper, plus a tarry underpinning. Focused and integrated, with good length through the lively finish. Drink now through 2036. 161 cases made.

Varietal: Tempranillo

There are plenty of notable native Spanish grapes which have made a big impression on the wine world at large, but none are as renowned or as widely loved as the Tempranillo varietal. This black skinned grape has been used for wine making for centuries, with several ancient civilizations noticing the fact that it is highly versatile and holds some delicious flavors and aromas, perfect for those looking for a powerful yet elegant grape for their wines. Tempranillo often causes winemakers some trouble, however, as it is highly susceptible to many diseases. Despite this, plenty continue to persevere with this varietal, as it is perfect for producing delicious and complex single variety and blended wines, packed full of classic Spanish flavors and plenty of aromatic and intense surprises.

Region: La Rioja

La Rioja is undoubtedly the jewel in the crown of Spain's wine regions, and the deliciously drinkable, complex and fascinating single red wines and blended wines of this special region have gone down in history as some of the finest on earth. La Rioja is located in the north of Spain, close to the Atlantic coast, but shielded from the cold and wet weather by the expansive Cantabrian mountains. As such, the climatic conditions in La Rioja are ideal for ripening the Tempranillo and Garnacha grapes used in the production of the fine red wines the region is famous for. Wineries in La Rioja take great pride in their heritage and traditions, and the winemakers of the region employ a range of time honored techniques alongside more modern methods to make the most of their superb crops each year.

Country: Spain

Spanish wines are renowned world-wide for carrying all the passion and character of the Spanish culture within them. Any lover of Spanish wine would undoubtedly be able to confirm this notion, as the variety and range of flavors and aromas coming from the high end of Spanish produce is truly impressive, and continues to delight and fascinate both newcomers and the more experienced. Spain benefits massively from an ideal climate for wine production and vine cultivation, with its long, scorching hot summers and far reaching oceanic breezes working perfectly with the native and imported grape varietals, which thrive on the mineral rich soils that cover much of the country. With centuries of knowledge, and generations of expertise under their belts, Spanish wineries continue to focus on raising the quality of their nation's wines, helped along the way by relatively new laws and regulations regarding regional excellence and representativeness.
