Event Description
Whilst traditional Rioja often steals the limelight, modern Rioja is crafted often from young estates or those that have adapted their grapegrowing and winemaking processes.
Jimmy was thoroughly excited and impressed by the diversity and world-class quality surfacing from this sector. This includes top estates such as Bodegas Roda from the Haro station district as well as the likes of Miguel Merino and Artuke who has have won multiple awards from Tim Atkin MW (who writes the annual Rioja Report).
Expect a range of grape varieties and varying innovative winemaking processes including more use of French oak (rather than the traditional American oak). Wines will range back to 2004 and include Tim Atkins wine of the year in 2021, the La Loma 2017 from Miguel Merino.
