Viura (58 %) is the dominant grape here which is harvested in October in tight, small bunches alongside Tempranillo Blanco and Sauvignon Blanc.

I was introduced to Pedro at Bodegas Martínez Alesanco by Miguel Merino’s son, also Miguel. Sadly, it was a visit cut short by time constraints otherwise we may well have long over-stayed our welcome. Sometimes you just know when things are right. Each wine tasted in their impressive new winery was really enjoyed and followed by another equally enjoyed. Each wine with a purpose, a point of difference and a story. The brand-new tasting room has panoramic views over the red soils of the Upper Najerilla towards the Sierra Cantabria which between them largely define the microclimate and wine styles. Maybe the highlight of that first tasting together was the revelation of Maturana Tinta, a re-discovered and re-planted Rioja grape variety.

HUEVOS ROTOS. “Broken” eggs are pan-fried eggs, potatoes, and minced chorizo-spiced pork loin and are a delicious snack. And with soft-centred homemade croquettes topped with ham shavings, you have an absolutely delectable meal.
