2023 Bodegas Exopto Rioja Bozeto de Exopto

Tom Puyaubert's Rioja wines are finer expressions, with no American oak, and fruit sourced from higher altitude vineyards, many organic (no mean feat in Rioja).

The Bozeto is his bargain red offering, a gorgeous blend here that features 40% Grenache, Tempranillo & a splash of Graciano coaxed into a silky yet spicy wine of supreme drinkability.

A hands-off approach gives the wine a natural feel. Fermentation is in both concrete and tank, then ageing in concrete and large old oak. Some semi-carbonic maceration adds to aromatic lift and a bouncy tang. Lovers of Spanish reds, jump on in!
