Rioja 2010, 'Finca Las Cabras' Cuna de Reyes

Buy now

We stumbled across this Bodega back in February '11 and it’s an amazing find. Based in Rioja Alta growing Tempranillo and Garnacha they’ve made the softest, juiciest and most fleshy Rioja we have ever tasted at this price. It’s fresh with soft, seductive tannins and bags of ripe fruit. This is a cracking winter red just by the glass or with food.
