Very fruity and approachable for a Rioja, think more medium than full-bodied. The ideal mid-week winter warmer.

A traditional, family run Bodega based in Lanciego, a quality wine village in Rioja Alavesa (the Basque area of the Rioja wine region). Blanca and Jesus Rodriguez farm over 50 hectares of vineyards, as well as fruit and nut trees. 

The region produces high quality Tempranillo with plenty of fruit which is perfect for making "Joven" or younger style wines with minimal use of oak. Albergada prefer to use their best fruit for these younger wines, unlike many Rioja wineries who use their youngest vines/lower quality fruit for the production of Joven.
