Akutain are situated in Rioja Alta, and they are a grower producer, in that (unusually for Rioja) the wines are made with all estate grown fruit. This is the first Rioja I’ve tried from Akutain, which farms about 16 acres in the Rioja Alta region. Akutain uses the term Cosecha to mean unaged, and this wine essentially was fermented in fiberglass vats and bottled, capturing the juicy immediacy of the tempranillo fruit. It’s spicy and earthy, easy to drink and deliciously refreshing. NEW YORK TIMES
