About this wine

José Gil’s “Labastida” bottling is a village wine sourced from old vineyards around Labastida in Rioja Alavesa, planted mainly to Tempranillo with small percentages of other local varieties. Farming is organic, with low yields, manual harvest and strict selection. Fermentation is typically with a good proportion of whole bunches and indigenous yeasts, followed by ageing in used barrels and/or foudres to preserve purity. The 2022 shows red and blue fruit, violets, fine spice and a distinctly limestone-driven, chalky tension on the palate, making it more Burgundian in feel than classic oak-driven Rioja.

Tasting Note

Early reviews compare it to high-class village Burgundy: perfumed red fruit, floral lift, subtle stemmy spice, fine-grained tannins and a long, salty, mineral finish.

In the glass

Medium ruby, quite bright and limpid.

In the nose

Red cherry and raspberry, violets, rose petal, subtle green-stem spice and wet stone.

On the palate

Silky and linear with pure red fruit, fine chalky tannins, vibrant acidity and a long, mineral, gently savoury finish.

José Gil

José Gil is one of Rioja’s most exciting young artisan growers, based in San Vicente de la Sonsierra and working mostly old vineyards at altitude. His approach is firmly “vigneron”: single-vineyard and village wines, often with whole clusters and restrained oak, giving perfumed, finely structured Tempranillo. Named “Young Winemaker of the Year” in Tim Atkin’s Rioja report, he represents a new, terroir-first face of the region.
