Lopez da Heredia, Cubillo Crianza 2016 Rioja, Spain

One of the first of the houses founded in the Rioja region, established in the middle of the nineteenth century Lopez de Heredia is a giant of traditional wines and winemaking in the world. Their Riojas are monumental for the purity of fruit so evident in every bottle. In this bottling of Viña Cubillo the marriage of fruit and place is perfection. The balance is impeccable: the wine is vibrant, elegant and complex. The elevation of the parcels that go into Cubillo add to the vivacity and freshness that electrifies with every sip.
