2020 Berry Bros. & Rudd Rioja by Bodegas Amézola de la Mora, Spain

Sisters María and Cristina at Amézola de la Mora have produced another exceptional Rioja for us. The nose is fine, with notes of fresh strawberry; the palate is succulent and pure. The lovely weight of juicy, ripe raspberry fruit makes this mouth-coating and refreshing, while a nutmeg twist completes the long finish. This is a subtle style of Rioja, as charming as the sisters themselves. Moreover, the bottle is capsule-free, which helps to reduce packaging waste.
