A master of all disciplines that can really go the distance.
That could be said both of this wine and its maker Raimundo Abando. Rai used to compete in triathlons at an international standard but now he funnels all that energy into winemaking at Bodegas Las Orcas. Located in the cooler Rioja Alavesa region nestled in the foothills of the Sierra Cantabrian Mountains he creates Tempranillo with refreshing acidity and summery freshness. The delicate touch his wines possess makes them super food friendly and downright drinkable.
Solar de Randez Rioja Reserva formerly known as Decenio is aged for 24 months in American oak barrels followed by a further 16 in bottle. It’s full of potential energy like a coiled spring waiting to jump out into your glass when you open the bottle. Redcurrant cherry plum blackcurrant cedar cigar creamy coconut tobacco and dried herbs all mingle in this smooth and delightful red. Serve this alongside anything from tapas to barbeques goulash to pizza or roast lamb to cassoulet. Whatever you choose you’ll have a ‘whale’ of a time.
