There’s nobody else in NZ more qualified (literally) to find Spanish gems than Master of Wine Steve Bennett. As another MW Bob Campbell puts it – “Steve has built his reputation on the quality of his imports.”
And if there’s one thing he is absolutely bonkers about it’s Rioja – you’ll often catch him grumbling about how Kiwis ought to drink more Rioja and less Pinot Noir! Well he might convert a few with this one. He’s absolutely hit the nail on the head discovering this incredible value organic Rioja called Azabache.
This is an organic Rioja blend of 60% Tempranillo, 20% Garnacha and 20% Graciano. As Master of Wine Paul Tudor puts it – “A focused, sophisticated entry point to one of Spain’s greatest wine regions, at a very fair price. Everyone deserves to try this.”
Pair this Spanish beauty with roasted and grilled red meats, especially lamb.
