2011 Cuvée Philipson Telmo Rodriguez Rioja

It is our life's dream to make the best possible wine with the world's best winemakers from different regions on several continents. We seek the ultimate in quality for price, we over-perform and that means you get more wine for your money when you buy Cuvée Philipson. We have worked with Telmo since the beginning and together we have selected the best barrels in Telmo's cellar to present a modern Rioja with respect for tradition. The grapes for Rioja Cuvée Philipson come from old, crooked vines from Telmo's own, low-yielding vineyards located 500 metres above sea level in the heart of Rioja. The wine is made from 90% Tempranillo and 10% Garnacha and aged for 14 months in oak barrels. The wine a big bouquet of very ripe black fruit and a touch of spices, a delicate yet intense flavour that finishes with freshness and elegance. The aftertaste is very long and has mineral undertones.
