Crunchy black fruit, earth, baked rocks, spice, leather. New wave Rioja with loads of punchy acid and texture.

No Tempranillo in this cuvee these days. 50/50 Garnacha/Mazuelo. A fair amount of whole clusters add a severe bite of tannins, while early picking warrants for high acidity and plenty of red berry flavours. Post modernist Spain at its best!

Feb 3rd, 2017Sublime and refined, yet wild and interesting. Stalky tannins counterbalance its red fruit flavors and vivid acididy in a positively provocative way. Still youthful but drinking well already.

Oct 16th, 2016Unrivalled freshness and really cool tannins create a sort of post-modern style of Rioja here, which flirts with both Burgundy and Piedmont. Very, very clever oak treatment too. Bright finish.

Important gear. Olivier proves to the rest of us the incredible terroir that is far too often absolutely destroyed by wood. Incredibly elegant, aromatic, floral stuff. Delicate acids too. Proper wizardry.

Old vines of tempranillo and a little mazuelo from Rioja Alta. whole cluster ferment, aged 14 months in French demi-muid and foudre. Black tart cherries, bright acidity and very fine tannins. "Ganko" is Olivier's nickname from his Japanese importer meaning "stubborn" 😆
