Rioja Crianza Tio Martin 2019 – Bodegas D.Mateos
£19.00
Brilliant ruby red colour, with an intense and complex bouquet. Aromas of black fruits (blackberries and blueberries) and low brush, such as lavender, dill and rosemary. Balsamic notes that evolve to sweet spices (vanilla, coconut and clove) and black chocolate. It’s a wine with a great personality and character. Balsamic and menthol elements that enhance the ripe black fruit aromas, such as maraschino. Long end with subtle bitter notes (cocoa and coffee) of ageing that invite to keep drinking.

With a family tradition of growing and making wine that dates back hundreds of years, Bodegas D. Mateos is one of the latest rediscoveries in Rioja, embodying the true character of this region in its wines. Mateo Ruiz, who has been heading up this project since the winery was constructed in the year 2000, amazes and offers great wines with their own distinctive personality and character, with Rioja Baja and Aldeanueva de Ebro as the hallmarks of their identity.
Tempranillo
Spain’s top red wine, made famous by Rioja, region in North-Central, what many consider to be one of the world’s benchmark areas for Tempranillo, where wines are classified, in part, by how long they age in oak. What’s amazing, is a well-made Tempranillo ages for over 20 years tremendously well.
There is a very rare white mutation called Tempranillo Blanco.
Beyond Spain and Portugal, it is hard to find. It’s planted sparsely in Argentina, Southern France, Italy, Australia, the United States, and Mexico. Tempranillo vineyards enjoy sunny climates in elevated, protected, mountainous valley regions.
Bolder and aged it’s pair nicely with steak, gourmet burgers and rack of lamb. Fresher styles match well with baked pasta and other tomato-based dishes.
