The palate is silky yet structured, with energetic freshness and powerful tannins that are approachable now but promise graceful aging. Balsamic undertones and dried herbs linger on the ample, elegant finish.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e`Lanzaga` is made with the best grapes grown in dozens of estate plots that add up to the 20 hectares farmed around the Lanciego village, in Rioja Alavesa. The organic-certified bush vines grow at altitudes ranging from 500 to 700 meters above sea level on two main soil types. On the flat sandstone plateaus the vines grow on shallow, low fertility stony, calcareous and silty textured soils which inhibit vigour and concentrate the flavours, adding mineral notes. The soils on the gentle slopes are moderately deep, with less stone, a higher marl content and very fine texture which prolongs the ripening and adds freshness to the finished wine.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe grapes were hand picked and transported in small boxes to the winery where most of the fruit was destemmed. The Tempranillo, Garnacha and Graciano grapes were co-fermented with indigenous yeasts in cement tanks. The wine spent 14 months in a mix of 15 to 25 hectolitre foudres and 225 litre barriques before blending and bottling without fining and filtration.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn the early 1990s, Telmo Rodríguez left his family estate in Rioja to make a name for himself elsewhere. Having explored off-the-beaten-track Spain, studied winemaking in Bordeaux and worked in the vineyards of Burgundy and the Rhône, he returned home with a new perspective. He and his friend Pablo Eguzkiza founded Bodega Lanzaga in 1998 with the aim of making site-specific wines to celebrate Rioja’s remarkable villages and vineyards\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"London End Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":64688017801593,"sku":"203136421","price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0506\/5405\/2509\/files\/BodegaLanzagaLanzagaRioja.jpg?v=1790169644","url":"https:\/\/www.londonendwines.com\/products\/bodega-lanzaga-lanzaga-rioja-2021","provider":"London End Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
