We are pleased to announce that the Consejo Regulador, the Control Board which oversees DOC Rioja, has declared the 2019 vintage to be EXCELLENT.

This conclusion was made after a rigorous analysis of all the wines made in the Denomination, more than 4,500 samples were taken and then tasted by a panel of 150 professionals. What makes this even more significant is the fact the last time this milestone occurred was in 2011.

We spoke to our Rioja producer; Ortega Ezquerro and winemaker David Bastida, has told us about their excellent 2019 vintage.
