Merchant's description

Ganko Olivier Riviere 2015 is a testament to Olivier Riviere`s commitment to crafting authentic Rioja. Sourced from a high-elevation site at 600 metres near Cárdenas, this wine blends ancient Garnacha and Mazuelo vines, aged 60 to 90 years, cultivated in sandy and ferruginous red clay soils. The 2015 vintage exhibits a structured palate, highlighting the characteristics of its terroir. Riviere, known as `Ganko` by his Japanese importer, embraces a meticulous, non-interventionist approach. This wine is a representation of his philosophy and skill in reinterpreting Rioja`s traditional practices.
