Miguel Merino Rioja Jovenas 2020

Miguel Merino created his own winery in a restored farmhouse where he built a small vinification plant and barrel-ageing cellar. He started to buy grapes grown on small plots near Briones to produce well-made, modern wines and now owns and runs one of the smallest, youngest and most prestigious wineries in Spain.

This new vineyard ‘El Rincon’ was planted in 2001 in the South of Briones. Matured for 15 months in ‘second use’ oak barrels. Plenty of blackcurrant fruits on the nose with notes of vanilla and leather. Great concentration of fruits on the palate with smooth tannins.
