The wine shows a wonderful deep cherry red colour in the glass. The nose is intense and aromatic with ripe dark fruits and elegant notes of balsamic, tobacco, caramel, vanilla and chocolate. The palate shows a wonderful freshness which hints towards longevity, with soft tannins and an elegant mouthfeel. Enjoyable now, this wonderful Reserva Rioja will age for years to come.
Decanter Gold Medal Winner – 96 Points
The 2012 vintage in Rioja was rated as ‘Very Good’ by the Rioja control board and Martinez Lacuesta were amazed by the quality of the grapes they got considering the drought conditions earlier in the year. The Hinia Rioja Reserva is 85% Tempranillo, 10% Graciano and 5% Mazuelo, coming from the bodega’s own vineyards 400-500 metres above sea level in Haro. Fermentation was in American Oak with a final blend put together in January 2013 before ageing for 36 months in American oak.

2023 Gamay, Domaine Moulin Camus, IGP Loire
Gamay
This 100% Gamay from Domaine Moulin Camus comes from grapes grown on a slope of pure mica schist which gives the wine juicy, rounded red fruits a bit of tautness and minerality. A warmer than normal, sulphur free maceration for three days helps bring out some warmth and roundness to the fruit, making it slightly beaujolais'esque but without the bubble gum/commercial edge that one would normally find in this price range.
