The Wine
Pagos de Tahola is an outstanding modern Rioja from a century old family estate. Its exuberant fruit comes down to mature vines grown in some of Rioja’s highest vineyards, and an infusion of high quality French and American oak. The first vines were planted at this estate in 1882 while the current winery was rebuilt in 1968. Two generations of the Chavarri family are now in charge – father Francisco and daughter Ruth. Talented winemaker Miguel Lopez Nunez completes this winning partnership. Intended to be enjoyed in its youth, this oak aged Tempranillo is very much the style the locals themselves prefer, with its simple red berry flavours and subtle hints of vanilla and cloves. Be authentic and serve with tapas, grilled lamb or rabbit stew.
"Really enjoyed this one. Again! Very smooth and fruity"
