La Mateo Tempranillo Vendimia 2016 Magnum
WineSpark Price €44.43
Nothing beats a magnum of great wine. It looks sensational, tastes sensational, and lasts much longer than a normal bottle.
Rioja is great with turkey and other roasts - so I couldn't think of a better bottle for Christmas than this wine. It’s a smooth, velvety and decadent red... which slips down effortlessly and gets better with each and every sip.
It’s from the underrated Rioja Baja sub-region of Rioja - so because of the higher altitude, 50-year old vines, and limestone-clay soils, it’s just another level of Rioja than what you might normally be used to.
Look out for Mateo’s grandfather, father and uncle on the label - this wine is a tribute to his family who spent decades toiling in the fields growing grapes for the family business.
Please note that if you order the magnum in a 12-bottle order, the wine will be delivered in two separate 6-packs.
