La Estrada Bodega Lanzaga Rioja 2016 - The Spanish Table

La Estrada Bodega Lanzaga Rioja 2016

The La Estrada comes from a tiny .64 hectare vineyard and only 100 cases were produced. Telmo Rodriguez has always been a strong proponent of vineyard driven wines in Rioja and his single bottlings are truly stunning wines and make a strong case for the quality that Rioja can deliver.

"The purity and beauty of the wine are so impressive with crushed berries and flowers. Medium to full body. Dense and gorgeous. Spice, dark fruit and asphalt, yet always long and beautiful. Real Rioja. Drink now or hold. " 97 points James Suckling.

"The 2016 La Estrada is from a northeast-facing 0.64-hectare plot, one of the highest vineyards in the village of Lanciego, at 610 meters in altitude. This vineyard was planted in the 1940s on a shallow plateau with mostly Tempranillo with a little Graciano, and the altitude provides freshness and balance. The 2016 feels very harmonious and elegant, clearly above the 2015 I tasted next to it. There is more precision and finesse here, the finest bottling of this vineyard to date. 1,880 bottles produced." 96 pts Wine Advocate
