Tasting Note

The purity of fruit and finesse best describes this wine. On the nose, it exudes buoyant ripe raspberries and plums, together with leather and hints of chocolate. The palate is focused and mineral, with resolved tannins, notes of herbs and a vibrant acidity that balances the ripeness of fruit. The finish is persistent and smooth.

Product Notes

Bodega Lanzaga El Velado is a remarkable Rioja wine, fermented naturally and aged in large wooden vats to enhance its rich flavour. It exudes a deep garnet hue with a dense nose of ripe blackberries, wild herbs and toasted cedar. The palate is full-bodied yet elegantly layered, with nuanced flavours of redcurrant, fig and spices married beautifully with firm tannins. The finish resonates with notable persistence, showing provocative mineral nuances. El Velado is an ideal companion for hearty meat dishes, offering an experience of opulence and harmony from Spain's revered Rioja region.

About the Winery

Bodega Lanzaga

Bodega Lanzaga is a gem nestled amongst the vine-clad landscapes of Rioja Alavesa, Spain. Rich in culture and bursting with tradition, this boutique winery tells a tale of winemaking craftsmanship that spans almost two decades. Its charm is imbued in the rich Spanish terroir and the age-old tradition of winemaking, nestled in the remarkable landscapes of Basque Country.

The winery was founded by Telmo Rodriguez, a prodigious vintner with a zealous passion for wines. His vision for Bodega Lanzaga was to create wines expressing the personality and vibrancy of the local Riojan landscape. The vineyards, spread across 15 hectares of land, therefore, only grow indigenous grape varieties; this deliberate choice, combined with biological farming principles, results in wines that are undisputed in their quality, finesse, and a unique sense of place.

Bodega Lanzaga's approach to winemaking represents a harmonious blend of tradition and innovation. Their reliance on dry farming and spontaneous fermenting, combined with elevated wooden vats and barrels for aging, acknowledge age-old techniques. While their innovative mindset is reflected in their experimentation with different levels of oxygen exposure and various types of vessels to shape their wines.

Apart from their distinct methods, Bodega Lanzaga is also revered for its warm hospitality. This estate offers a delightful array of wine tasting sessions, vineyard tours, and opportunities to learn about wine cultivation and ageing, beckoning both novices and wine aficionados alike. Every visit to this Spanish retreat will leave you with an intimate understanding and admiration for the Spanish wine culture

Amidst the rising number of modern wineries Bodega Lanzaga continues to stay true to its roots. It holds high its belief that winemaking is an art, a passion, and representation of land and people. The wines introduce you to a story, the story of Rioja, filled with charm, passion and a captivating allure of legacy. After all, Bodega Lanzaga is not just a winery, it's an experience.
