Tasting notes
Spiced strawberries and cherries with touches of hibiscus and minerals. Nimble and bright, with a medium body and fine chalky tannins. Lots of drinkability, but serious and long. Excellent fruit quality. Drink or hold.

The 2020 VIBN4 Viñas Viejas is 100% Tempranillo sourced from Villabuena in Rioja Alavesa. This garnet-red wine with a purplish sheen aged in concrete and foudres . It presents nuanced aromas of blackberry and blueberry, accompanied by hints of violets and balsamic notes. On the palate, it is dry, intense and juicy, with an infusion-like mouthfeel supported by compact, fine-grained tannins. This expressive red lingers on the palate with its delineated flavors. Interestingly, its name subtly references the place without explicitly stating it, adhering to the labeling regulations in Rioja.
