When we see Alvaro Palacios’ wines hit the shelves we happily snap them up, knowing they won’t be around for long. La Vendimia is his basic, entry level Rioja – not a serious wine, but very quaffable and at a great price. Fresh and bright, full of ripe fruits, a little wild herb and spice, this is a great option for entertaining a crowd. Tasted November 2012 |
 | This wine is simultaneously modern and old school. Modern, because this fresh, bright, flavourful red is the product of a cutting-edge winery; old school, because it’s made with a higher percentage of Garnacha — a practice more common in Rioja Baja where superstar winemaker Alvaro Palacios hails from. Look for aromas of blackberry jam, fresh raspberry and a hint of Mediterranean country herbs (aka, garrigue). A consistent value, enjoy this wine. |
