Rioja Gabaxo Olivier Riviere Biodynamic Wine, Wild yeast, French oak Maturation, full bodied but beautifully fresh and balanced. No new oak in Gabacho, but loads of classy Rioja character and sheer drinkability! Gabacho does see some wood, a small amount of old french barrels are used for ageing up to a year. This adds no flavour but helps to soften the wine slightly. This really is lovely stuff, rich but very fresh and balanced red wine with a touch of the dark and brooding about it and a touch of the animal too. It benefits from decanting and also from good bottle ageing. Try it, it will change your mind about Rioja

This winery is a personal project of the renowned oenologist from León, Raúl Pérez. Since he worked in the winery Castro Ventosa, which caused a true revolution in El Bierzo, Raúl Pérez has not stopped. He is undoubtedly one of the most admired winemakers in Spain, the master of wines with an Atlantic character. Pérez is the magician of Mencía, he knows the variety better than anyone and works his vineyards with total respect for nature. His wines are a lesson in elegance and their simplicity also proves that high quality doesn’t necessarily mean exorbitant prices. Pleasant, elegant and authentic wines that are definitely worth much more than they cost, such as Ultreia Saint Jacques, an astonishing Mencía red wine that offers so much for so little. In addition, its fresh personality makes it an ideal wine to be enjoyed even on summer days

He relies on sustainable viticulture practices, underscoring nature's ability to produce a near mystical balance of flavours without intervention. This purity of approach culminates in an elegant, nuanced white experienced in this bottle.
