The tiny village of Ábalos lies just a kilometre or so from the Rioja Alta’s border with Rioja Alavasa.

Exopto Rioja Horizonte de Exopto Abalos 2017

$47.00 per single bottle
I have tasted the 2016 twice recently, with consistent results. Love it! The 2017 Horizonte de Exopto is a very different wine, due to the cooler nature of the vintage. If the 2016 is a broadsword, the 2017 is a rapier. With a spicy nose of red and dark cherries, I wasn’t expecting the plunge […]

The floral and cherry aromas leap out of the glass and have an HD precision that you don’t normally find in entry-level wines.

$62.00 per single bottle
The dark-straw color with orange reflexes and the bold tannins on the palate mean that this is, in some sense, an orange wine. Lots of nuts and dried herbs, but also some dried apricot on the nose. Quite long. Mostly grenache blanc plus some macabeu. Drink or hold. 92 points, JamesSuckling.com Brisat is made from […]

Exopto Rioja La Mimbrera 2016

$170.00 per single bottle
Impenetrable, and one of the darkest pitch Tempranillo’s I have tasted. Dark, dark fruits, licorice and very tight. There are glimpses of morello cherries, which really lifts the wine and points to a compelling, mysterious evolution. Exotic notes kick in after you leave the wine for a few minutes. Thyme, lavender, grenadine and blood orange. […]
