Lanzaga Tabuerniga 2022 is a site-specific Rioja red wine from a terraced vineyard in the foothills of the Sierra de Cantabria. This plot is characterised by its old vines and poor soils, which in the dry 2022 season produced very small, concentrated grapes. The resulting wine is more brooding and structural than El Velado, with a deep mineral core and a firm, upright tannic profile. It shows the darker side of Rioja Alavesa, with notes of black fruit and crushed rock. The 2022 vintage’s heat is countered by the vineyard’s natural cooling breezes, resulting in a wine that is powerful yet retains a necessary acidity to age.
