BODEGAS y VIÑEDOS LEZA GARCÍA VALDEPALACIOS RIOJA 2022

The Tempranillo base of this classic Rioja lends typical savoury characteristics while the Garnacha Tinta and Mazuelo give it a fruity burst of life! It’s clean, bright and harmonious with the acidity, freshness and softness all in perfect balance with one another. Think crunchy red cherry and cranberries with an earthy vanilla edge.

Bodegas y Viñedos Leza García is the third generation of a family saga that dates back to 1920, when Juan Leza Arenzana began his career in the world of wine with a small vineyard in his hometown, Uruñuela.

Juan’s natural know-how was picked up by his son, Ángel Leza, and so his legacy has been passed down to this day. Currently the winery is managed by the third generation and a fourth generation is in the process of incorporation.

Lez García is largely based in Rioja Alta to the west. They are under the influence of an Atlantic climate and enjoy a wide variety of soils ranging from clay-limestone,clay-ferrous and alluvial. Their vineyards are located mainly in the Najerilla Valley and the Sonsierra, making it a unique enclave for the production of excellent wines.
