Burgo Viejo is a property jointly owned by six families of grape growers. For ages they sold off most of their harvest, but have started making wine under their own label of late. We are very excited they’ve made that decision. Despite the fact that their little pocket of Rioja is planted more to garnacha, Burgo Viejo has focused on the more high-profile tempranillo.
In an effort to describe the wine, I’ve enlisted the work of Decanter’s Simon Field MW, who is much better at writing than I am. In his review, he states, ‘Intense colour, powerful aromas of tar and blue fruit; minty savoury, rich, lifted and long; an impressive reserva statement of intent.’ Yeah, that’s what I meant to say.
