TASTING NOTES
The Hontza Rioja is a generous, structured red wine that expresses the nature of the Rioja Alavesa terroir, located north of the Ebro River and sharing territory with the Spanish Basque Country. Its vineyards are located at higher altitudes, resulting in cooler temperatures, which produce wines that are more elegant, with a signature freshness and bright acidity. Its complex palate combines ripe black fruits, sweet spices, dried herbs and damp earth. The tannins are present but well polished giving depth to this well-balanced wine. Enjoy this mountain red with smoky lamb chops with patatas bravas or baked pasta and other tomato-based dishes.
