2022 Akutain Rioja Alta Cosecha, 750ml

Founded in 1975 by Juan Penagaricano, Bodegas Akutain specializes in small-batch, high-quality wines from Rioja, crafted in a traditional style. The grapes come from high-elevation vineyards in the Rioja Alta region, where cool air and warm sunshine provide ideal growing conditions. ‘Cosecha’ is primarily Tempranillo and Garnacha, fermented with wild yeasts and aged in fiberglass.

It's fresh and full of energy, but also deep and dark fruited with a hint of spice in the background. On the palate, it's juicy and smooth, with a medium body and a light, easy finish.
