MDV Rioja Reserva 2017 DOQ red (pack of 6); Bottle price € 14.95

Grape variety Tempranillo. The elderly lie beautifully in oak casks for 30 months; then a rest period of 6 months and then he can travel. Wine has ruby ​​red color, the taste of ripe fruit, mineral, leathery with vanilla notes. Some people recognize this in the Zeeland Babbelaar. Candy boxes know what this means. In other words, a robust wine. Can live for a long time.

Received a creditable review on "Wine Gekken" in December 2023. Even a medal!

Price € 14.95 and packed in boxes of 6 bottles

Bodegas del Medievo

Bodegas del Medievo is located in the middle of the Rioja region, which besides Priorat is the only one allowed to carry DOQ, so it's all about the last letter. Their vineyards are not far from the Ebro, that important river that rises in the Basque Country with a length of 950 kilometers and flows into the Mediterranean Sea at Amposta via a large delta area with rice cultivation. They call themselves “artisan” because they do almost everything manually (artisan we would say in Países Bajos)
