International Wine Challenge 2024 Spanish Red Trophy, Rioja Trophy 96 points
"Textbook expression of an underrated grape in Rioja. Rich layered and multifaceted with graphite and capsicum, black Forest gateau flavours. Impressive with sleek oak and long flavours."
"Balcón comes from three terraces near Yécora, located at 520 metres and totalling 4.7 hectares. It's an engagingly perfumed, sweetly wooded expression of Maturana Tinta, with mocha top notes from 80% new American oak, supple, caressing tannins, black cherry and capsicum flavours and tangy supporting acidity." 2024-35 94pts Tim Atkin MW 2023 Rioja Report
Made from the rare Maturana Tinta variety
