Laventura Tempranillo

Crafted by winemaker Bryan MacRobert, this terroir-focused, minimal-intervention Rioja breaks away from traditional heavy oak styles to let the grape and soil truly shine. Sourced from old bush vines planted in the high-altitude, limestone-rich soils of Rioja Alavesa, it is fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged for over a year in large, neutral French oak foudres. It opens with an elegant, expressive nose of wild blackberries, sour cherries, and fresh blueberries, nuanced by notes of crushed stone, lavender, and a touch of savory white pepper. The palate is medium-bodied and exceptionally fresh, balancing concentrated dark fruit with chalky minerality, fine-grained tannins, and a long, vibrant finish.

Food Pairing: Pairs beautifully with herb-crusted rack of lamb, roasted duck breast, wild mushroom risottos, or traditional grilled Spanish meats.
