Bodegas D. MateosLa Mateo Colección de Familia Vendimia 2019

About this wine

This Rioja gem from Bodegas D. Mateos represents the winery's family collection, a carefully crafted blend that showcases the best of traditional Spanish winemaking. The 2019 vintage brings together the classic Rioja trio of Tempranillo, Garnacha, and Graciano, creating a wine that's both approachable and sophisticated.

On the palate, you'll discover rich flavours of ripe red berries and plums, complemented by hints of vanilla and sweet spices from oak ageing. The Tempranillo provides structure and elegance, while Garnacha adds juicy fruit character, and Graciano brings freshness and aromatic complexity. The wine finishes with smooth tannins and a pleasant warmth at 14% alcohol.

This Rioja pairs beautifully with grilled lamb chops, beef stew, or aged Manchego cheese. For a Swiss twist, try it with a hearty fondue Chinoise or raclette. Decant the wine for 30 minutes before serving at 16-18°C to let the flavours fully express themselves.
