Pleasant Quaffing Wine
3 stars
Have just sampled and enjoyed a glass (or two!) of this new wine. I find it fruity, light bodied and quite smooth. By the way the closure is plastic rather than ‘natural cork’ as stated.

Tasting Notes
- A different way of approaching aged Rioja wines. It stands out for its balance between dominant fruit and fresh. Wild berries, spices and a fresh, appetising flavour make it an attractive wine.
