Our journey takes us to Rioja, specifically El Ciego, where we’ll be visiting Muriel, the mastermind behind this exquisite wine.

The numerous vines, primarily composed of Tempranillo, thrive in a calcareous and clay-rich terroir, with some vines over 25 years old flourishing there.

Color
The wine boasts a clear, medium ruby red hue, with brick-colored edges indicating a touch of aging.

The Nose
This wine exudes the quintessential aroma of Rioja, distinctly marked by oak.

Aromas:
French oak, American oak, vanilla, leather, sour cherries, blueberries, yogurt – pear/banana, tobacco, lemongrass, and freshly ground black pepper

The Palette
