A family winery based in Aldeanueva de Ebro with 7 generations of family dedication to the vineyard, there is no doubt that the Mateos know how to make excellent wine. They always have their fingers on two key pulses – one finger on the classic, historic wines of Rioja made from the traditional grapes of Tempranillo, Graciano and Garnacha and the other finger on modern, more approachable styles. The one element that links every wine they present is exceptional value for money and an attempt to let the wines speak without being overrun by oak.
If you want the familiar rustic Rioja styles, with the familiar terms of Crianza etc - this is a great pack. Letargo Rioja Joven and Crianza are the entry points. As we go up the gears La Mateo Vendimia throws more ageing and oak into the mix, while Tio Martin uses finer, older oak, this is their best wine (so there are 2 in the 6-Pack!). One curveball comes in the form of Vanidosa (meaning vain) which is unusually a 100% Garnacha and it is a stonker!
Incredible value for soulful, classic Rioja, Read more about Rioja HERE.
