Lasai Rioja Single Vineyard El Ciego 2021, DOCa Rioja, Spain

Lasai is a small-production Rioja from the vineyards surrounding the picturesque village of El Ciego. The winemaking here is overseen by a passionate family team who focus on organic farming and minimal intervention in the cellar. Their single vineyard wines are an expression of the unique limestone soils and the cooler, high-altitude climate of Rioja Alavesa. The 2021 vintage was aged in a combination of French oak barrels and concrete, allowing the fruit’s natural characteristics to shine. How does it taste: Bursting with bright red fruit, tobacco leaf, and a touch of spice, this Rioja is balanced and elegant with silky tannins and a fresh finish. Ideal with lamb chops or a rich Manchego cheese.
