Burgo Viejo 2019 Crianza
On a recent trip to Spain, we were able to visit Burgo Viejo, located in the town of Alfaro on the far southeast corner of Rioja. Their winemaker, with the no-doubt-about-it-Basque-sounding name – Gorka Extebarria, was very enthusiastic about the new release: Red ruby colored wine with violet tones, this well-balanced offer comes with a sturdy structure and multiple layers of black fruit, vanilla and coconut flavors. Powerful, complex and silky smooth, this classic styled Rioja comes at a bargain price and nothing short of greatness. It also consistently gets impressive reviews for the price.
