mcpepper85 A favourite Great every day wine that also works for many different meals and cheese. A favourite in our house A complex year, with a cold, humid spring, then rain and hail in summer, with the risk of downy mildew and a long, late harvest. Needed much work in sorting and selection.

A very difficult year, with April frosts that swept northern Europe, followed by drought. One of the earliest vintages on record. Looking for a wine gift? Look no further, the Rioja Wine Gift Box by Basco is the perfect wine present for any wine lover out there! Brand Rioja is subtly moving – changing its identity a little bit,’ said Field. ‘There were some classic, traditional Riojas that did well in this tasting. But I think Rioja is at a crossroads, because it’s trying to move away from the way it has traditionally been defined, by age, into trying more and more to define itself by place. And therefore, the question is: is there a definitive Rioja style?’ That question is not an easy one to answer at the moment. However the judges were encouraged rather than deterred by evidence of this tasting. Our Rioja red wine gift sets are not just gifts, but an immersive experience in the world of fine wine. Each bottle of Rioja red selected for our gift sets promises a sensory journey into the heart of Spain's beloved wine region. Penasco Rioja Crianza 2018 - A Harmony of Taste After this you’ll find Crianza and Reserva, finishing with the most mature Gran Reserva. Expect a bit more fruit forward flavours with a Crianza, and as you move up the spectrum you’ll tend to find more depth and oak-aging, however that’s not to say Gran Reserva styles are ‘best’. Crianza’s can make for excellent every day wines, as they are highly quaffable, fruity and generally accessibly priced.

We felt this wine once chilled was best served with fish such as prawns so if your having prawns as a starter on Christmas day, this wine would go perfectly with them. The Penusco Rioja 2015 is a red wine that transcends the ordinary. Born of Spain's finest Tempranillo and Garnacha grapes, it radiates a depth of flavour, richness, and complexity, embodying the very spirit of the Rioja wine tradition. The Pleasure of Rioja Red - A Gift for the Senses Riesling from Aldi’s Exquiste Collection is a very dry white wine and is 11.5% volume. When pouring this white wine we could smell apple and grapefruit and when drinking this wine we could taste both of these giving it quite a sharp finish, although not overly sharp this is a nice wine. Where they differ significantly is in blending. Traditionally Rioja has been more like Bordeaux, blending across the region, both varieties and vineyards. So while Tempranillo is king in Rioja, it is often blended with Garnacha, Graciano and Mazuelo. There are some distinguished single-varietal Garnachas and Gracianos, but they are rare indeed. Shift of emphasis To taste, Holly from our office said that this was a delicious, rich, full-bodied wine. It had a slight citrus taste that cuts through the intense stone fruit and buttery oak flavours.One bottle of Milenrama Blanco, a white rioja of straw yellow colour made from 20 year old vines. It has a high intensity bouquet of tropical fruits mixed with notes of hazelnut. On the palate, it is soft and silky with a fine sweet flavour at the end.
