Maestresala Rioja "Author Signature" Selected Vintage, Rioja Alavesa, 2019
£23.99
£19.99
VAT Included
Maestresala Selected Vintage is the winery’s flagship wine, made from hand-harvested Tempranillo and Viura grapes from 70-year-old vineyards.
After carbonic maceration, it’s aged 12 months in French and American oak, then 6 months in the bottle.
On the nose, it’s intense: red fruits like strawberry, raspberry, and blackberry mingle with subtle creamy notes, while oak gives it structure.
On the palate, it’s dry, structured, and tannic, but with mature, friendly tannins. Rich, unctuous, and perfectly balanced — a wine that surprises and delights with every sip.
