Lanzaga El Velado 2022 is a field blend of Garnacha and Tempranillo from a small, high-altitude plot in Lanciego, Rioja Alavesa. Telmo Rodriguez focuses on traditional viticulture here, and the 2022 vintage retained freshness due to the site`s elevation and north-facing orientation. The wine is remarkably fragrant, leaning more towards red berries and wild herbs than the dark, oaky profiles typical of the region. It possesses a chalky tannic structure that is a reflection of the limestone-rich soils. This is a subtle expression of Rioja favouring elegance and a sense of place over raw power.
