Product Description:

“Wine needs an author. Human beings stimulate nature, and the touch of their hand unlocks the depths of matter. It would be a mistake to reduce a wine to the terroir from which its grapes come, just as it would be to reduce a sculpture to the marble from which it is carved or a painting to its pigments. It would also be a sin against the spirit because wine is, above all, and perhaps even more than anything else, a product of the spirit.” Jean Meyer, Domaine Josmeyer" Winery. Rated Very Good by the CRDOC Rioja, the vintage 2020 was marked by an early budding, followed by succesive adverse climatic episodes and the proliferation of mildew. Fotunately, all these difficulties could be overcome and the grapes were harvested early and good phenolic ripeness, yet the yilds were rather low. The wines show a very good color and aromatic as well as very elegant tannins. A little deeper and probably more lactic than the 2019, but a little less exuberant. There are more dried herbs and minerals, with dried grapefruit and a touch of Aperol. Textured, full and harmonious despite higher alcohol. Cheerful and unassuming at the same time. Drink from 2025. (James Suckling, August 2024).Asian and Mediterranean food, especially spicy and hot dishes. Serve between 8ºC and 10ºC (45ºF and 50ºF). Let it breath in the glass for some minutes to enjoy it at its best.
