MURIEL RIOJA CRIANZA
90 ★★★★★☆
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.
