Olivier Riviere Rayos UVA Rioja 2020
SKU
95072
Olivier Rivière, lured to Rioja to convert the vines of Telmo Rodriguez to biodynamics, quickly felt a need to produce his own wine from the region. Unlike many of his peers in Rioja, he bases his cuvées not on political boundaries or the length of barrel aging but on terroir. There is the perfect amount of rusticity with aromas of leather, oak, smoke, cigar and an overall smell of underground cellar. Fresher characteristics of violets, red currants and whole-cluster fermentation add a lightly creamy texture to the overall mouthfeel.
