Aiurri Rioja Alavesa is deep and dense, with impressively concentrated, ripe black fruit character. There is impressive tannin structure, which mellows to a wonderfully velvety texture after airing for 45 minutes. This is an outstandingly rich wine that can be enjoyed straight away, provided that it is decanted in advance, and it shows every indication that it could also cellar superbly. Drink now and over the next 10+ years.

Winemaking
Elaboration by plots enhances vineyard knowledge. Must is moved by gravity, fermented spontaneously, and vinified in French oak vats and concrete tanks. San Vicente grapes aged nine months in foudres and barrels; Leza wine aged twelve months in barrels. Blended wine aged five months in concrete, with sulphites added, and bottled in spring 2023.
Press Review
92/100 - Dark chocolate, dried herbs and black cherries with plenty of fine-grained, chalky tannins. I love the austere aspect, which is more reactive and tense. Nothing floppy here, for sure. Quite long. Drink from 2025.
