Vega Del Rayo Rioja Vendimia Seleccionada - This is definitely our biggest selling Spanish wine. Classic in style, it is a delicious modern Rioja with deep colour and ripe plum and cherry fruit aromas. Richly flavoured and substantial with fruit dominant and a smoky, spicy dimension from six months in oak.
A blend of 70% Tempranillo, 20% Mazuelo, and 10% Graciano.
Grapes for the Vega del Rayo wines are sourced from this family company's 200 hectares estate in the Rioja Alta. The first vintage was 2003, and they have since won many top international awards and gone from strength to strength.
Perfect with a smoky barbequed steak with patatas bravas (spicy tapas potatoes), or a chunk of Manchego cheese.
