Viña Amézola Crianza is a Rioja that offers exceptional value for money from a producer to keep a careful eye on. It’s a blend of Tempranillo, Mazuelo and Graciano that’s matured in oak for 15 months, plus an additional nine months in the bottle. Rich and silky smooth, it tastes like blackberry jam, raspberries, wild strawberries, spiced plum crumble, vanilla, nutmeg, truffles and a warm comforting hug. Somehow, it just tastes exactly like good red wine should – elegant, structured and classic. Serve it alongside tapas, slow-cooked stews, roasts, wild mushrooms, game and cassoulet. We reckon it’s worth picking up two bottles, because this is fast becoming our go-to weekday red wine.
María and Cristina Amézola Downes are two of the youngest bodega owners in Rioja Alta, the western part of Rioja that stretches from Logroño to Haro. They inherited Bodegas Amézola de la Mora when their father Iñigo died in a tragic accident. Although the 60-hectare family estate very much remains a classic Rioja producer, these two siblings are experimenting and putting their stamp on it. With a little help from consultant Georges Pauli, formerly of the ever-popular Château Gruaud Larose in Bordeaux, their wines are some of the most exciting we’ve tasted from Rioja in a long while.
