J y J Unzu is the new release from Julián Chivite, this time in Rioja, a 100% Tempranillo signature wine that is particularly enjoyable due to its nose – a voluminous nose that blossoms into delicate but intense aromas of fruit and flowers in particular. The wine boasts a very pleasant nose, lively, fresh and sweetish.
On the palate it has good acidity and is fresh, and although perhaps we might have been expecting a little more structure, it is flavoursome with lovely tannins and an interesting mineral background, making it a very good choice in its price range.
J y J Unzu is made with grapes sourced from selected vineyards located in Rioja Alavesa and Rioja Alta; parcels lying at the foot of the Cantabrian Mountains and south-facing, allowing the grapes to mature to full ripeness, thus providing the wine with body and natural freshness. The soils are limestone in composition, not very fertile, and the grapevines, averaging 40 years old, grow in bush formation.
