Bodegas Moraza, Rioja Garnacha 2017

Rioja, reinvented. Fresh, fruity and modern, eschewing the use of oak barrels. Expect notes of tangy hibiscus, morello cherry and black pepper, in this light, bright sappy wine. Sip by itself, with pork, chorizo, manchego cheese or a bean chilli.

Janire Moraza is the 6th generation of her family to work this estate, which has been worked traditionally, without the use of modern chemicals. Her partner, Patricio Brongo, was making craft cider in Quebec when they met. This young and dynamic couple are making Rioja accessible to a younger generation of drinkers looking for fresher, lighter styles of wine.
