Altos R Pigeage Graciano 2018

Item Code: 3711118

Description

15 Golds and 94 Suckling Points for the latest Altos Pigeage from Jean-Marc’s superb Rioja estate.



Our Haut-Brion-trained winemaker, Jean-Marc Sauboua, founded Altos in 2006 and, all together, has won over 180 Golds, Trophies, plus many high scores.

He works with the young Amaia Amestoy and Hector Gomez in the cellar, whose CVs includes experience at Napa’s Château Montelena, Contino and Murrieta in Rioja and Villacreces in Ribera del Duero.

They made this wine from old-vine (80+ years) Tempranillo and Graciano, vinifying it using Burgundy’s pigeage method.

This involves fermenting in open vats and plunging the skins into the liquid three times a day – hands-on winemaking that delivers great results.

Aged for two years in half new French oak and bottled unfiltered, the wine offers seams of intense black fruit with spice-box complexity.

Barón de Barbón Blanco (187ml) 2021

Item Code: 4249721

Description

Citrus-scented Barón de Barbón carries the flag for cutting edge, contemporary white Rioja. It’s the sibling wine to our bestselling red Rioja, both made by the Murúa family. Terrific value, it dazzles with its racy-fresh, lime-zipped flavours.



The talent behind this modern, citrus-zipped white Rioja is the Murúa family, real movers and shakers in the region.

They own Bodegas Muriel in the Rioja Alavesa, a winery established in 1926 by Jose Villaverde, the father of the current owner, Julián.

Julián and his son, Javier, have for years made our customers the much-loved red Barón de Barbón.

Always a top seller, it's adored for its generous, ripe fruit and value for money. This fresh white is in the same class – no doubt why our customers order it more often than any other blanco.

It’s pure Viura, fermented at a cool temperature in stainless steel to capture every single flicker of freshness.

it's ideal served chilled with tapas, barbecued chicken or spicy prawns with noodles.
