Biurko Gorri Tempranillo Joven 2021

Politically, part of Navarra province, Biurko Gorri are in the far north-eastern corner of appellation Rioja, on the slopes of Monte Yoar in eastern Sierra Cantabria. The Llorens family own 15 plots totalling 40 hectares of vineyards around the village of Bargota, 18kms from Logroño. These are organically grown vineyards lying in a rolling landscape at over 600m on poor limestone-clay soils. The winery has been certified organic since 1998.

Soft and mineral, with a mix of red and dark fruit in a floral register. There are purple and blue berry aromas with savoury elements of dried lavender, heather, shaved nutmeg. The palate is clean, with refreshing natural acidity. Fruitfulness lengthens to a long, savoury earthen finish and the chalk soil is reflected in fine tannin.
