About this wine

Jarrarte 2020 is sourced from 40-year-old Tempranillo vines on clay-limestone slopes around San Vicente de la Sonsierra. It combines vibrant black and red fruit with gentle spice, earth and a subtle rustic edge that calls for food. Structure is medium-full, with ripe tannins and a mellow acidity that makes it approachable now but capable of a few more years’ evolution. A classic, low-intervention Rioja tinto from one of the region’s most respected growers.
