I’ll admit it – I tried this wine a few months ago and thus don’t remember exactly why I liked it. But I obviously enjoyed it enough to take a picture of it. So here you are – a really nice Rioja for you to try. In my opinion, good Rioja can be hard to find (there is a LOT of it in the UK to meet the demand of the supermarket consumer – i.e. around £6 per bottle. I remember this being around £30 in a restaurant so would guess you could find it for £10 – £15 in the shops (Majestic as usual would be my first checking point). I would recommend buying a few bottles – a) to get the likely discount of 10 – 15% off and b) so you can try it on a few different occasions.
Rioja is a wonderful wine for parties as it is likely to please most people. For this gem, make sure you share it with only your best friends or at least people who care enough to recognise its amazing-ness. Enjoy!!
