Spain's
most famous table wine region and first
to build a market on the world stage.The
traditional style of Rioja is in reality
a time capsule of fossilised Bordeaux
winemaking from the 1850's and Rioja
is the only region in the world that
releases wine on to the market when ready
to drink. Add to this the fact that after
a decade when Rioja was too popular for
it s own good, Rioja has never been so
good as now and is once again one of
the world's great wine regions making
wines of true finesse.Martínez
Lacuesta have been established in Haro
in the heart of Rioja since 1895 and
are one of the most respected names of
the region.
All Lacuesta reds use the same classic blend of 80% Tempranillo,15%
Mazuelo & 5% Graciano.It is generally agreed that Spain's great
Tempranillo grape gives the elegance and depth, Garnacha the spicy
power with Graciano adding to the richness of the bouquet.
