Legends of Rioja Six
Wonderfully mature classics that no Rioja fan will be able to resist
Let’s go in age order, starting with a recently released 2005 Crianza from Altos de la Guardia, a relatively new cellar that’s now the most awarded bodega in all of Rioja. Fermented in 140-year-old wooden vats and matured for six years in barrel, López de Heredia Viña Tondonia Tinto Reserva 2011 is as classic as it gets (and the superstar of your case). There’s a very elegant and refined 2014 Reserva from Rioja ‘royalty’, Martínez Bujanda, and a lavishly oaked 2019 that gives you the perfect introduction to the wines of Rioja legends, Muga.
