The wine
Nowadays few wineries in La Rioja still retain vineyards of Garnacha. Tobelos produces this single varietal Garnacha only in the years when yields have been very low, thus obtaining a wine with an extremely vivid colour, an intense nose of ripe fruit, especially red (strawberries and blackberries) but also black fruit, with notes of sweet spices, minerals, balsamic and chocolate, and a powerful, ample and meaty palate. An elegant Garnacha wine.
Aged for 14 months in French and American oak barrels.

Making a complete break from the classic style bodega in its construction, the building is located...
