An enormous estate, Casa De La Rad has 272 acres of vineyards, and 37 acres of olive groves. This 2015 Rioja is an unusual blend of 40% Tempranillo, 40% Garnacha, 10% Maturana, 10% Graciano all sourced from 35 plus year old vines. The smoky and meaty nose comes off with wonderful intensity. The palate has a wonderful salinity and weight, currently displaying a great minerality. Black and red fruits collide with a touch of blood orange on the palate.
