Opinión de los críticos
This is only the second vintage of Tom Payaubert's Rioja Alta Garnacha, but it's already showing impressive quality. Sourced from the 16-year-old El Bortal vineyard in Laguardia, it's a fresh, scented, refined style with wafts of thyme and oregano, lots of tangy redcurrant and strawberry fruit, nuanced oak and filigree tannins. 2026-33
The new single-vineyard 2022 El Bortal – Garnacha Tinta comes from a 0.5-hectare plot that they work with a horse (like the rest of the single-vineyard plots). It had an integral vinification with indigenous yeasts in 225-liter barrels and matured in used 600-liter barrels for 12 months. It's elegant and a little austere, serious and balanced, insinuating rather than in your face, with subtle aromas. It's not a shy wine; the grapes ripened thoroughly, achieving 14% alcohol and keeping a nice balance. It has a beautiful texture, very fine and chalky tannins, precise flavors and a clean, long and tasty finish. 1,200 bottles produced. It was bottled in March 2024.
Exopto nació en 2003 fruto de la ilusión de tres amigos que tenían como principal meta interpretar Rioja y su terruño de manera distinta.
