Rayos Uva Rioja Olivier Riviere 2019
Tempranillo (Tinta-del Pais, de Toro, Roriz, Tinto Fino) | Spain
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.
Tasting Notes: A bright perfume of fresh red cherries, plum, and blackberry persists on the palate, where these juicy flavors find a harmonious balance with the wine’s subtle earthy quality and round mouthfeel.
Pairing: This wine will pair well with everyday foods like tapas, cured meat sandwiches, chorizo, or pasta.
