Bodegas D. MateosLa Mateo Parcelas Singulares 2017

About this wine

This Rioja blend from Bodegas D. Mateos showcases the beauty of old-vine Tempranillo, Garnacha, and Mazuelo from singular parcels. It's a wine that tells the story of traditional Spanish winemaking with a modern touch, offering both depth and elegance in every glass.

On the nose, you'll find aromas of ripe red cherries, blackberries, and a hint of sweet spice from oak ageing. The palate is beautifully balanced, with silky tannins carrying flavors of dark fruit, tobacco, and a touch of vanilla. The finish lingers with notes of leather and Mediterranean herbs, showing the wine's complexity and maturity from the 2017 vintage.

This Rioja pairs wonderfully with grilled lamb chops, aged Manchego cheese, or a hearty mushroom risotto. Decant it for about an hour before serving to let it fully open up, and serve at 16-18°C to appreciate all its nuances. It's a wine that deserves a moment of your time.
