More information
The Manzanos family have 125 years of wine history to draw upon as grape growers and, since 2002, have undertaken the winemaking, too. They built a modern winery at the heart of the Rioja region, where the rivers Ebro and Ega come together. Here they enjoy beautiful views over the landscape and a superb terroir for growing grapes. The fifth generation of the dynasty, brothers Victor and David Manzanos, took charge of the family estate just 5 years ago and have taken quality even higher. 2015 is proving to be an exceptional vintage, on a par with 5-Star 2005, so expect lots of deep, ripe fruit and length in this Tempranillo. Pure fruit and little oak, this is enjoyable to drink any time on its own, with chicken or with vegetable kebabs.
