Luis Gurpegui 'Primi' - Rioja

2017

100% Tempranillo

Rioja, Spain

This wine pays tribute to Luis Gurpegui Muga, one of the main figures of a family that has been very important in the history and tradition of the world of wine. He went to great lengths and many years of hard work to make wine culture more accessible to the rest of the world. The Luis Gurpegui Rioja is an iridescent red, garnet color with fresh black fruit, licorice, chocolate, and spices on the nose. The palate is elegant, round, and pleasantly filled with big blackberry fruit and a hint of black olive. Serious tannins finish off this wine with a long aftertaste. A wine for hearty food, pair this bad boy with red sauce pasta, pizza, grilled meat, and Mexican food.
