Price Drop: Burgo Viejo Rioja 2021

We’ve seen the range of Burgo Viejo, the classic tempranillo of the region. Extensive, decadent, new American oak treatments. Crianza, reserva, gran reservas. Well, Mofo, forget everything you know about those wines and welcome to the prettiest wine in their range. Grenache and graciano come together to show off their best sides; raspberry, cherry pie, florals and graphite. The tannins aren’t shy but ready to indulge in food pairing. With that acidity and bright, fancy fruit- think along the lines of pork, fennel, and apple. This is the bee’s knees.
