Description

Tom Puyaubert's Rioja wines are finer expressions, with no American oak, and fruit sourced from higher altitude vineyards, many organic (no mean feat in Rioja).

The Bozeto is his bargain red offering, a gorgeous blend here that features 40% Grenache, Tempranillo & a splash of Graciano coaxed into a silky yet spicy wine of supreme drinkability.

A hands-off approach gives the wine a natural feel. Fermentation is in both concrete and tank, then ageing in concrete and large old oak. Some semi-carbonic maceration adds to aromatic lift and a bouncy tang. Lovers of Spanish reds, jump on in!

    Great Rioja

    Originally I was disappointed to see this wine in the pack ordered from Different Drop as it replaced a 2016 wine from the same winery. However this wine was an easy drinking delight!

Bozeto means 'sketch' or 'outline' and as the name implies, this is Tom Puyaubert's entry-level wine. It's been designed as a delicious, easy-drinking introduction to the range, and takes in a pan-regional expression of Rioja's three principle grape varieties. While the majority of entry-level wines from this region today are based on Tempranillo (a variety both easier and more profitable to grow), here Garnacha represents 40% of the blend. This Garnacha hails from the sandy, river stone terroir of El Agudo--a 60-year-old plot at Alfaro on Monte Yerga (in Rioja Oriental). The Tempranillo is drawn from a selection of mature vines in Ábalos (high county Rioja Alta), and there is also some Ábalos Graciano, adding freshness and finesse.
