More information
For any lover of red wine, you can’t go wrong with Rioja. In all its Tempranillo glory, it’s pleasingly juicy with a wonderful smoky base. Any Rioja is a treat, but if we’re getting picky, wines from the superior Rioja Alta are the crown jewels. And Bodegas Patrocinio are ideally placed in the beating heart of this sought-after sub-region. Surrounded by mountains, and bordered by three rivers, their vineyards benefit from a unique microclimate. Abundant sunshine, proximity to water and high altitude allow the Tempranillo grapes to ripen to perfection whilst retaining an appealing freshness. Harvested from old vines, the fruit is concentrated. Ripples of ripe red cherry, pepped with spicy liquorice. Partner with grilled meats or tasty tapas!
