Rich, round Rioja- a perfect fireside red

- The Rioja buffs amongst you will know that Garnacha is the Spanish term for Grenache. Those of you that have never tried or heard of it - prepare yourself for some smooth-as-you-like sensory pleasure!
- Brambly, spicy and fresh as a new spring lamb... which funnily enough, would taste gorgeous alongside a big glass of this.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Gorka Etxebarria
- He's a gentle, modest young guy with very little to be modest about. After all how many winemakers his age have managed to win 90 points from the world's most influential wine critic, Robert Parker
- Burgo Viejo is owned by 6 families of farmers, not winemakers or salesmen. They used to simply sell their grapes and never see the true products of their labours. Then Gorka came to save the day and showed them exactly how good their grapes were!
- His second love is head banging guitar...and having tasted his wines, and heard his music, we should all be grateful that wine is his first love! Save everyone's ear drums, support this winemaker in his fantastic contribution to Spanish wines.
