2018 "Tabuérniga" Rioja DOCa, Bodegas Lanzaga
Tabuérniga is a small, vertical and isolated valley, where shorter vegetative cycle varieties offer a different expression and give rise to a sober and austere wine, but full of depth and elegance. At an altitude of between 540 and 630 meters, these narrow and historic terraces, cultivated organically and respecting the tradition, offer a magnificent wine.
2018 was a very wet and late year in which we had to fight hard to control powdery mildew. The precipitations did not impede a good flowering and, with precise viticulture, we achieved generally healthy, abundant and high quality grapes. In Labastida, Tabuérniga is the last vineyard to be harvested because of its more easterly orientation. Picked during the last week of October, the harvest was particularly abundant and of good quality due to very slow ripening of the grapes. 3,924 bottles produced.
James Suckling:
"This shows a solid core of fruit with such purity, offering blackberries, black cherries and dark chocolate (subtle). Full-bodied, but really refined and tight with precision and length. Incredibly deep and long. Energetic. Mostly Tempranillo. From organically grown grapes. Needs at least five years to open."
