So much to say! Tim Atkin gives it 90/100. "The 2016 vintage marks the second coupage, or blending, of this organic Tempranillo with 14% Garnacha Tinta, sourced from two plots facing each other at 650 meters in the small village of Badarán. Predominantly fruit with a touch of wood. It is refreshing, juicy, with fine tannins and red and black fruits."

It's an oaky Crianza, and needs no more aging.

Sometimes you just know when things are right. Each wine in Martinez Alesan’s collection is impressive and enjoyable, and then followed by another wine equally enjoyable. Each wine has a purpose, a point of difference and a story. The brand-new tasting room has panoramic views over the red soils of the Upper Najerilla towards the Sierra Cantabria which between them largely define the microclimate and wine styles.

Goes well with chorizo, pork, or bacon.
