Sierra de Toloño, Villabuena de Álava Rioja 2023
The nose opens with a fragrant burst of wild violets and crushed raspberries, underpinned by an earthy, slate-like minerality typical of the Alavesa limestone. Remarkably fluid and bright on the palate; crunchy redcurrant and plum flavours are framed by fine-grained, chalky tannins. Certified biodynamic by Demeter, their vineyard work is almost homeopathic with compost and their vine treatments all made in house. The recycle and treat wastewater as well as all non-vineyard waste (the vineyards are all farmed without irrigation) ferment with native yeasts, and use very lightweight bottles. And they encourage cover crops between alternate rows of vines in their 18 vineyard sites, with native plants spontaneously growing, including wild garlic, all while trying not to compact soils.

The very talented winemaker Sandra Bravo makes this organic rioja, which is mellifluous but also vibrant, a dance of red plums and summer dust with very gentle oak.
