Rayos Uva is winemaker Olivier Rivière’s version of a Bourgogne Rouge, sourced from fruit grown in the sandy, gravelly, alluvial soils of the Rioja Baja sub-region in the eastern part of Rioja. This blend of Tempranillo, Graciano, and Garnacha is crafted to convey a brightly fruity version of Rioja unmarked by oak.
Ruby-red color. The fresh fruit aromas are preserved in the nose, together with typical liquorice aromas from the oak. Hints of vanilla. In the mouth good balance. Silky, velvety with good intensity.
A dry red made from 100% Listan Negro. After the 7 Fuentes ‘village’ wine, Suertes de Marques bottle six Vinos de Parcela, or single vineyard wines. Suertes del Marques is a family winery that has been producing wines since 2006.
The distinctive portrait on the front label depicts Christoph Willibald Gluck, who was a German opera composer that returned to opera its theatrical content, lost in the Baroque and the theater director at the Court of Vienna.
Vetus means forbidden in Latin. The vines are located at an altitude of 810 to 930 m, in the northernmost area of Rueda (Segoría); here the harvest is about 3 weeks later than elsewhere in the DO.
“Viña Ijalba”
Those words had been following us around Rioja like a strange echo. Their name surfaced in nearly every cellar we went to—yet the estate remained mysterious. It didn’t take long before we gave in to temptation and scheduled a visit.
A bright core of red berry fruit flavors is enveloped by mature tannins, while spice nuances dance throughout the palate. This is an amazing value from Rueda.
Somehow cooperatives developed a bad reputation. While it is certainly true that cooperatives can make mediocre wine, it is also true that estates can be guilty of the same crime.
Bright color, lush cherry red color of trim Cardinals, slightly garnet and great intensity. Clean, bright and dense tears enveloping and complex nose, good intensity and modern cut. With a bouquet of aromas which highlights the fruit liqueur, vanilla, dark chocolate and spices. Round, balanced and structured. Long finish.
Classic Rioja aromas of earthy berry, cassis and raisin along with cocoa and dry spice notes announce a ripe wine with complexity. A dense palate with good acidity sets the stage for baked berry, cassis and raisin flavors.
