La Bicicleta Valadora Rioja 2021

German Blanco, the winemaker behind Milu, which is based in both Rioja & Ribera, has been named as one of the top 10 most influential Spanish wine makers. Rumours of him being German are inaccurate. He is a young and very Spanish winemaker with a taste for purity.

No oak here, this was one of the first New Wave Riojas I had ever tasted and it remains my favourite. Tempranillo, mid weight, ultra-smashable. If you haven't had the pleasure, jump on this now. STSWine
