Orben Rioja 2018

An exciting estate in Rioja Alavesa, chiefly owned by the Antón family, with the vineyards benefitting from the mitigating influence of the Atlantic Ocean giving the resulting wines fresh acidity, despite the very warm climate. Made from 100% Tempranillo sourced from a selection of 79 small plots located in LaGuardia. An intense garnet red in colour, very intense on the nose, with aromas of cherry, blackberry, toffee, toasty oak and a hint of leather. Complex and impeccable balance, with a long and aromatic finish. Silver medal winner at the Decanter World Wine Awards 2021.
