2022 Moraza San Vicente Tempranillo

A pure expression of Rioja Tempranillo, the San Vicente shows what’s possible when biodynamic farming meets old-vine fruit and hands-off winemaking. Grown in the high-altitude village of San Vicente de la Sonsierra, this wine is all about freshness, energy, and clarity. Almost blue-hued in the glass, it opens with lifted aromatics of blueberry, potpourri, black cherry, and spice. The palate is vibrant and mineral, with a delicate crunch, soft-grip tannins, and a clean finish that carries notes of sour cherry, fennel, and raspberry. Fermented and aged entirely in concrete, this is a bright, mid-weight red that ditches the oak in favour of fruit purity and regional identity. A modern Rioja made the old way, how charming!
