This village-level Rioja is José Gil’s house blend, fusing the cool-climate elegance of San Vicente with Burgundian polish. Bright red fruits and gentle spice unfold over silky, finely knit tannins.
By blending multiple high-altitude sites, this cuvée captures San Vicente’s layered complexity and José’s stylistic fusion of Rioja structure with Burgundian restraint.
Winemaking: The fruit is from four 80–130-year-old plots, grown at 450–650m. Native-yeast fermentation in stainless steel is followed by 10 months’ ageing in equal parts concrete and old 500L French oak.
Pairing Suggestions: Roast pigeon with black olive jus, jamón Ibérico or wild mushroom risotto.
Tasting Note: Cherry compote, raspberry leaf and a hint of white pepper lead to a silky mid-palate and a fresh, mineral finish.
