Malasombra Rioja

A self-confessed nomad, Luis roams the lands of Navarra and Rioja looking for exceptional plots of old or abandoned vines to turn his hand to. His wines are unflinching in character and in his own words ‘It’s about fermenting the grape and putting it in the bottle. Making pure, honest wines.’ A total artisan, there’s a real no bullshit approach that makes these wines so exciting. A big fruit driven style of Rioja, maximising the red and black fruit capabilities of Graciano. The palate has a razor sharp acidity but thanks to the time spent in barrel the mouthfeel is generous and ever so slightly rustic.
