Petra de Valpiedra Garnacha Rioja 2021
From £53.95
Why Mark chose this
Pure Garnacha is unusual in Rioja, where Tempranillo dominates, but Valpiedra is a relatively small estate in the Rioja Alta that takes grape-specific wines seriously. This 100% Garnacha, aged 12 months in French oak, is more structured and less jammy than Garnacha from Aragón or the southern Rhône, with a ruby freshness and cassis character that makes it distinctive. A good bottle for someone who wants to explore what Rioja can do beyond Tempranillo.
