Tempranillo

Martinez Lacuesta are one of the oldest registered brands in Rioja, pre-dating the creation of the Rioja designation itself. The wines are predominantly made from Tempranillo grown high in Rioja Alta to the West of Haro, with smatterings of Mazuelo, Graciano and Garnacha.  Over the last 20 years significant investment has been made to allow Martinez Lacuesta to own far more of their vineyards and a new winery and cellar was opened in 2015.

2014 rioja monopole classico magnum 150cl

Viura

This vintage takes it back to La Rioja of old, with heavy frosts throughout winter, snow and an abundance of rain. Spring was also cold and wet followed by a warm summer but without excessive temperatures. These conditions provided a long, slow ripening period, which enabled the production of great, intense wines.

Viura

Planted to Viura in 1980, this vineyard is located at the highest altitude on the slopes of Yerga mountain.

Both of these key factors contribute to the intense aromas of the grapes.
