The Maldita Rioja Garnacha

Accessible red wine, lots of fruit, excellent with cold dishes, meat dishes or - slightly chilled - on the terrace.

Red wine from Bodegas Vivanco

Garnacha is the second most widely planted grape variety in this popular northern Spanish wine region. But farmers call it "La Maldita," literally translated as the cursed one, because it's difficult to cultivate and also produces low yields. Rafael Vivanco doesn't shy away from the cursed variety and even makes a particularly attractive wine from it. The hand-picked grapes come from relatively cool vineyards, which preserves beautiful fruit aromas and ferments in large tanks. Only 10% is aged for a few months in small oak barrels. The final blend therefore boasts plenty of spicy and berry Garnacha fruit and a soft flavor nuance from the very faint oak.
