Bodegas Bagordi, Rioja Crianza DOC, Navardia, red, organic wine, 2017, from, 14.10

Also in the Rioja area, it is not self-evident that wines have the body and the ingredients that justify a maturation in oak barrels. The result is wines that smell and taste more like wood and smoke than wine. The harmony of a wine is the prerequisite for acceptance by wine drinkers. It is the result of a good vintage in organic wine, the careful care of the soil and the vines, as well as a winemaking in which no attempt is made to make the wine, to manipulate it, but to let it arise by itself. In this Bodegas Bagordi Rioja Crianza DOC Navardia red you can feel it on the tongue and on the palate.
