Lanzaga La Estrada 2022 is a single-vineyard Rioja red wine from one of the highest points in Lanciego. This tiny, 0.6-hectare plot is dominated by old-vine Tempranillo that struggles in the shallow, stony ground, creating a wine of intense focus and aromatic purity. In 2022, the fruit achieved a perfect ripeness that is balanced by a remarkably low pH, giving the wine a refreshing, lifted finish. It is perhaps the most ethereal of the Lanzaga single-plot wines, showing delicate floral notes alongside a grippy, limestone-driven texture. The wood is almost invisible here, as the focus is entirely on the transparency of the fruit.
