2022 Gran Cerdo Tempranillo

This wicked Tempranillo is made by one of the rebels of Rioja, Gonzalo Grijalba. Organically farmed (uncertified), bright, joyful - this is what Rioja should be.

Description

Not a normal Rioja, not normal by any standard, but delicious pulpy Tempranillo from the iconoclast Gonzalo Grijalba

In fact, he can't call it Rioja, and nowhere is it mentioned on the label. Rather the label includes the quote "this wine is dedicated to the bank executives that denied loans to us on the basis that wine is not a seizable asset." Gran Cerdo means Fat Pig, and the swine on the label has a mouthful of bank notes. Love a metaphor.

Gonzalo is certainly our most unique grower. We first started working with him three vintages ago, attracted to his disregard for authority and for the pure juiciness of his Rioja.

A second generation grape grower farming a calcareous clay 4.5ha vineyard, largely by hand. This wine is one of the best value in our range, all fruit, super clean, berries, cherries and violets.
