San Vincente de la Sonsierra

€39.50

You can sense Jose's time in Burgundy in the elegance of this dark-fruited, berry-ish beauty. It's precise and extremely charming; complex already, it will only gain more nuance with bottle age.

Jose Gil joined his family firm - Bodegas Olmaza – in Rioja Alavesa after completing his studies in 2012. Not long thereafter, he found himself a cellar and has now started to bottle his own wine from the five hectares of vines he personally owns, vines that he works biodynamically. 

He has been described by Luis Gutierrez on Robert Parker.com as “…one of the leading young producers in Rioja and the whole of Spain”,
