Rioja

Gone are the average wines of a generation ago (well, not completely gone, but not here anyway) to be replaced by exciting wines that look to Bordeaux and the New World for their guidance. A new generation of winemakers has grappled control from the old guard and with this has come the pursuit of quality over quantity.

Young winemakers are combining old vines and old varieties with new technologies and new philosophies. Nowhere is this more evident than at Palacios Remondo estate in Rioja, headed up by Alvaro Palacios who cut his teeth at Chateau Petrus and in Priorat. His La Montesa Rioja is a headline grabbing superstar.
