The 2022 Bodegas Exopto Rioja Bozeto de Exopto Magnum (1500ml) is a vibrant Spanish red blending 60% Garnacha, 35% Tempranillo and 5% Graciano from vineyards across Rioja. The nose is bright and aromatic, showing raspberry, wild strawberry and cherry with subtle spice, cocoa and savoury notes.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with juicy red fruit, fresh acidity and supple tannins. Fermentation in concrete and stainless steel followed by six months in concrete and large oak vats preserves the fruit while adding gentle structure, leading to a fresh, savoury and persistent finish.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great choice for Rioja drinkers who enjoy fruit-forward Spanish reds with freshness and restrained oak. The 1500ml magnum format also makes an interesting addition to the cellar. Ideal with roast lamb, grilled beef, chorizo, wood-fired pizza, tapas or slow-cooked pork.
