Castillo de Epifanía Rioja Alta
In the most northwesterly corner of Rioja, the flatter land starts rising up into soaring mountains. It's here you'll find the start of the Rioja Alta vineyards – a fine enclave of Spain’s greatest region. There extra altitude freshens as well as ripens grapes slowly to full flavoured perfection. Since most Riojas blend grapes from across the region you almost never see Rioja Alta on labels. In fact, there are only two villages permitted to add it. In one you'll find Juan Antonio Leza’s family winery, the cellar behind Castillo de Epifania. Every grape comes from their sleepy Rioja Alta village. Full of silky dark fruit and strawberry, with a kiss of oak, this red has a delicious 'drink me' style, lovely on its own or with tasty tapas.

The palate is elegant and fruity wine, with different forest fruits, with raspberries and black cherries to the fore. Tannins are very soft and nicely balanced with acidity. Rioja, from Spain. The cradle of noble lineages for centuries, still conceals an ancient path that winds its way to the monasteries of San Millan De La Cogolla. A hidden pathway, once reserved for royalty, which still thrives today, all thanks to the sole heir who has kept the lineage alive. The wine of kings.
