La Mateo Rioja 6-pack
Member Price €190.13
I discovered these wines over a long (and delicious) lunch with Mateo in his winery back in 2014.
Mateo’s a quiet guy, but he came alive when talking about his super premium La Mateo range.
He explained that he takes the top 5% of his grapes, and uses up 50% of his resources on them. Which means he takes his best grapes from his best vineyards, allocates his best oak barrels, and gives them all the time they need to age to perfection.
Little did I know that just over ten years later I’d have the honour of sharing them with you.
So I’ve mixed together the perfect Rioja 6-pack to give you a taste of Mateo’s best stuff. You’ll get…
- 4x La Mateo Rioja Tempranillo Vendimia 2021 - the flagship... from 50 year-old vines and 14 months in French and American oak, making it a classic mellow, fruity, smoky and powerful Rioja
- 2x La Mateo Rioja Tempranillo Reserva Privada 2018 - made from three old Tempranillo, Garnacha and Mazuela parcels, including some of the highest Garnacha vineyards in all of Rioja. Low yields and tiny volumes makes this an inky-dark, savoury and seriously luxurious red.
Mateo is helping me get WineSpark off to a flyer with some amazing prices on his wines.
And I couldn't be happier to pass on this benefit to you.
I first met Mateo through my great friend Carlos Rodriguez back in 2014. We called into his winery near Logrono for a ‘quick Sunday lunch’ - I finally got out of there several hours later and barely able to move or fit back in my piddly rented Seat Ibiza.

Great accompaniment to red meat or cheese
So pleased you enjoyed it Ronan!
Have tried only the Tempranillo Vendimia but loved it.
Parcelas Singulares was lovely smooth with subtle oak, the right amount of fruit - berries, etc. Vendimia that much better. I am not into white wines but I would definitely ask for more of it!
We opened the Vendimia at a lovely Moroccan restaurant in city centre and paired well with the Tagine ...everyone enjoyed the rich cherry fruit flavours and gets better in the glass (if it lasts that long) thanks Eamon for introducing this great wine to Winespark
