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.
