Exopto Rioja Bozeto

Background

"Bozeto means ÔsketchÕ or ÔoutlineÕ and as the name implies, this is Tom PuyaubertÕs entry-level wine. ItÕs been designed as a delicious, easy-drinking introduction to the range, and takes in a pan-regional expression of Rioja's three principle grape varieties. While the majority of entry-level wines from this region today are based on Tempranillo (a variety both easier and more profitable to grow), here Garnacha represents 40% of the blend. This Garnacha hails from the sandy, river stone terroir of El AgudoÑa 60-year-old plot at Alfaro on Monte Yerga (in Rioja Oriental). The Tempranillo is drawn from a selection of mature vines in çbalos (high county Rioja Alta), and there is also some çbalos Graciano, adding freshness and finesse." - Importers Note

Tasting Note

"Expect a juicy wave of bright raspberry and cherry fruit wrapped around sleek tannin and vibrant acidity, with a moreish, sappy and spicy finish. Needless to say, itÕs terrific value." - Importers Note
