On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied with fresh acidity and medium tannins, showing a supple yet broad texture. Aged in concrete, it delivers clarity and depth, with hints of dried fruit and earthiness on the persistent finish.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e`LZ` is made with Tempranillo, Graciano and Garnacha grapes from several estate plots (Campoluengo, Las Rozas, Castillejo, El Romeral, Agozaderas and El Plano) around the Lanciego village, in the Rioja Alavesa area. Here, the organic-certified bush vines grow at altitudes ranging from 450 to 650 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 prolonges the ripening and adds freshness to the finished wine.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe grapes were handpicked and transported in small boxes to the winery where most of the fruit was destemmed. The three varieties were co-fermented with indigenous yeasts in small cement tanks where they remained for a further six to seven months. The wine was fined and lightly filtered before bottling.\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":64687967273337,"sku":"203136324","price":17.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0506\/5405\/2509\/files\/BodegaLanzagaLZRioja.png?v=1790169255","url":"https:\/\/www.londonendwines.com\/products\/bodega-lanzaga-lz-rioja-2024","provider":"London End Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
