Description
"His first red bottling 2023 Rioja Tinto 'Rayos Uva' is as pure and vibrant as Rioja can be. It is produced from the area of Aldeanuva de Ebro (Rioja Baja). The blend is dependent on the vintage but usually includes Tempranillo, Garnacha and Graciano – percentages change each year. Following fermentation it is aged only in tank and bursts with juicy, bright fruit that has a refreshing crunch. The finish is delicious and refreshing. This is Olivier’s most popular wine and for good reason, it's always a beauty and I think this 2023 is the best one yet!" - Andrew Guard, Importer
"Crunchy and tart, red berry fruited, light with the twiggy spice, a touch of alpine herb and anise, fennel, green tomato accompanying. Great energy here. Surprisingly tightly wound and tense for the 14% alcohol on the label, not a whisper of breathiness or heat either. So energetic and gulpable. Indeed, it’s almost too youthful and bright, and could do with a little softening. Great drink." - 93 Points, Mike Bennie, The Wine Front
