Description
You just can't get enough of this fabulous Rioja! Little wonder, given that it is "what true Rioja is all about" (The Sunday Express)

Made from 100% Tempranillo, the 2005 sees quality at an all time high, with all the hallmark, velvety, toasty flavours that seem to have made it such a hit. 2005 was officially an "excellent" vintage with, as one winemaker put it, "the best levels of colour and flavour in a decade."

The grapes come from the old vineyards of Rioja Alavesa, rare in such a modestly priced wine, and key to its trophy-winning quality. Its sensational richness must also be credited to the experience and passion for quality of father-and-son winemakers, Julian and Javier Muriel.

"Incredibly silky smooth with red berries, vanilla, hints of spice and a deliciously rounded, oaky finish. Superb with roast lamb or tapas."
