Description
Sisters María and Cristina at Amézola de la Mora have produced another exceptional Rioja for us. The nose is fine, with notes of fresh strawberry; the palate is succulent and pure. The lovely weight of juicy, ripe raspberry fruit makes this both mouth-coating and refreshing, while a twist of nutmeg completes the long finish. This is a subtle style of Rioja, as charming as the sisters themselves.
