German R. Blanco's La Bicicleta Volador, Rioja, 2016.

Beautiful in a softer way, which makes less sense in rioja than most other places. Don't mind this review, I'm three bottles deep now. Good color, less oak influence than expected, lots of red fruit.

Unoaked Tempranillo from Rioja Baja. Fermented and aged in concrete for 6 months. Fresh, easy to drink. Excellent value

Drank with Jaime, paired with roasted chicken. Tart berry, acidic, smooth as it decants

Spanish blend that was quite nice on a hot rainy summer day. This wine calls to be eaten with food. Red peppers and good amount of minerality on the finish.

Juicy with lots of red fruit and a bit of tar/leather at the start. Excellent acidity.

Silky, smooth, light and refreshing but with enough substance behind it to make it a good choice for the price.
