Bodegas de la Marquesa La Marquesa, 2022

Currently €15 @ Whelehan Wines

Grape: Tempranillo

"MARVELLOUS young Rioja, released very early after just 12 months in old oak barrels, which helps preserve the fruity aroma of the wine.

It has a clear red colour and a bouquet of blueberry fruit, along with spice notes, and hints of tobacco.

The palate is well balanced, very approachable,  juicy, and surprisingly elegant, with soft red fruit notes and light tannins. Good length, and excellent value. "

Enjoy with: Grilled lamb chops.
