I notice there aren't any of Jose Maria's wines available at the moment. In particular the Lanzado Crianza 2005. Could you tell me if or when the wines will be available? Guy

The first shipment came a few weeks ago and I thought the wine was lovely. I opened a bottle, left it to breathe and then had a couple of glasses. It's nice wine and my friends agree. I like both the Crianza 2005 & Cosecha 2007.

ReplyIn defence of this winemaker... as there seem to be plenty of negative comments below (perfectly acceptable of course as wine appreciation is all about opinions) I would say that the Joven is the stand out wine of the bunch, although I dont see it listed on the website, only the crianza which was a little dissapointing and lacked character.

"Advice I would offer to other winemakers? Well, love for the wine, good grapes, total dedication, intuition and effort – oh, and love for the countryside."
"Winemaking is a family tradition for me – I belong to the third generation of people dedicated to wine and our family vineyard.
We are very proud of the work that we do, and we are the first bio-climatic winery in the European Community. We constructed our winery in 1994 out of renewable sources, and we've also found new ways to minimize waste, including recycling and repurifying the water used in our cooling tanks.

A few Naked Extras about José Maria -
Hello Jose
I have some 2008 Lanzado Rioja Joven and would like to lay down a few bottles. What would you estimate the max time I might do this for and when would the wine be best to drink.
