Bodega Ojuel, Salvaje 2, Maturana, Rioja Alta, Spain, 2021
100% Maturana - 14% abv.
This is a hidden gem in our portfolio. With only 500 bottles made per year, and an even smaller allocation coming to the UK, we are proud to support Miguel Martinez of Bodegas Ojuel. He is showcasing the indigenous Maturana varietal, a recent discovery for me. This grape has a deep dark fruit aroma, with more red fruit coming out on the palate. Silky mouthfeel with the oak ageing coming through nicely on the end. Pure pleasure.
