Cueva de Lobos Tinto Joven 2021
Rioja
The Cueva de Lobos Tinto Joven is a 100% Tempranillo made without superfluous details or unnecessary weight. The bright and clean profile comes from simple winemaking in stainless steel tanks, allowing the purity of the fruit to shine.

A cool but also dry year, with even and balanced ripening. September rain provided relief to most parts of Rioja.
