Description:
Compañía de Vinos Telmo Rodríguez grew out of the partnership between Telmo Rodríguez and Pablo Eguzkiza, two winemakers with deep experience in Burgundy and Rioja. They work across many of Spain's classic regions, always with the native grapes of each place, and are widely credited with helping to revive forgotten vineyards and village wines across the country.

Lanzaga is the flagship of their Rioja estate in Lanciego, Rioja Alavesa, a village wine from organically farmed vineyards, blending Tempranillo with Garnacha and Graciano. It is aged for around 14 months in a range of containers.

Tasting Notes:
It drinks creamy and juicy, medium-bodied, with very fine tannins, fruit, spice and a herbal undertone.

Food Pairing:
Roast lamb, beef and game.
