Miguel Merino La Loma
Country: Spain Region: Rioja
Varietal: Tempranillo y Garnacha
Vintage: 2020 Colour: Red Style: Dry
Producer: Miguel Merino
Description:
A very vibrant nose with such lively and fresh dark-plum and berry aromas. The palate has a very supple, long and sleek feel with impressive richness and ripeness on offer and good balance.
Three varieties were planted in «La Loma»: the White Garnacha Blanca, and the red Garnacha Tinta and Tempranillo, which were grafted into Rupestris de Lot rootstocks, very appropriate for the soil’s characteristics and most compatible with the Garnacha vines.
Miguel Merino created his own winery in a restored farmhouse where he built a small vinification plant and barrel-ageing cellar. He started to buy grapes grown on small plots near Briones to produce well-made, modern wines and now owns and runs one of the smallest, youngest and most prestigious wineries in Spain.
