De Alto El Primero Rioja Y Mas Rioja, Spain 2 x 75cl bottles An unashamedly contemporary style of rioja that relies not on oak or age but on quality of fruit and a subtle, nuanced approach to winemaking. The fruit is vibrant, lifted and energetic -there are hints of wood spice, wild cherry and thyme. The palate is succulent, juicy, multi-layered but vibrant and textural. Savoury elements, hints of warm spice, liquorice and dark cherry fill the mouth, leading through to a clean, satisfying finish. This is a new style of winemaking here and it relies on freshness, moving away from the traditional, so that the fruit flavours are enhanced along the way. It is also made by Co Dublin born winemaker Fergal Tynan – Fergal is a Master of Wine and is making some of the best contemporary wines out of Rioja today.
