    Product description

    Hand harvested. Young vines planted in 2001 the vineyard of El Rincon, in the South of Briones. Grapes from new vineyards are used for this wine until the vines are old enough for the Reservas. Bunch sorting and fermented in stainless steel vats with indigenous yeast, and aging for 12 months in 500-liter barrels previously used for their Reservas. Topped up after 6 weeks to minimize oxidation. Bottle-aged for an additional 12 months. On the nose, expect intense aromas of red berries with notes of cocoa, balsamic, and toasted oak. On the palate, flavours of red fruit and spices with balanced tannins, good acidity and a long finish.

  • About the producer

    About the producer: Miguel Merino

    Bodega Miguel Merino is one of the smallest cellars of DOC Rioja. It was founded in 1994 by Miguel Merino Snr, who after many years exporting Spanish wines throughout the world, he made his dream of having a small ‘bodega’ to make the best possible wines, come true. Miguel established his winery in Briones, one of the most beautiful villages in Rioja and most importantly one of the few areas in Rioja Alta that kept old vineyards. All of the bodega’s vineyards are from the surrounding area, spread across no less than 34 parcels of land planted under vine between the end of the 19th century and 2001. The vineyard holdings total almost 13 hectares with just 55,000kgs of grapes harvested on average each year. Traditional and sustainable viticulture practices are followed with no use of herbicides and most of the work carried out by hand. The bodega’s reputation has soared in recent years under the stewardship of Miguel’s son (also Miguel), reinforced by the recent elevation to Rioja First Growth in Tim Atkin’s annual classification.
