2018 Valenciso Rioja Reserva

The last cold vintage we had is how Luis Valentin describes 2018, a vintage that saw 600mm of rain. This Rioja Alta Tempranillo from the area around Haro is suitably fresh, refined and focused, showing graceful tannins, chalky minerality and flavours of bramble and clementine.   – 95 points, Tim Atkin MW, Rioja Report 2023
