This wicked Tempranillo is made by one of the rebels of Rioja, Gonzalo Grijalba. Organically farmed (uncertified), bright, joyful - this is what Rioja should be.
A rare glimpse into Rioja’s past and future, El Espinal is a high-altitude, single-vineyard expression of Maturana Tinta - an almost-lost variety that’s finding new life in the hands of Bodegas Exopto.
This intriguing single village Rioja blends old vine legacy with modern sensibility and spark. Garnacha and Tempranillo star with dark cherry and bramble fruit with an attractive feral edge.
