Lanzaga Corriente Bueno de Diario Rioja - 2021 (750ml)

‘Corriente’ translates to ‘common.’ The name references an unofficial but often-used wine classification from the early 20th century. It references the wine’s ‘everyday’ quality – its versatility and directness – that nevertheless represents a region and its culture.

The wine comes from estate plots, as well as vineyards from principled growers with traditional vineyards in and around the village of Lanciego.

93 points James Suckling

A delicious, modern Rioja that's smooth and fragrant, brimming with ripe berry fruit, spicy oak, and delightfully earthy tannins. It's a joy to drink on its own but equally works incredibly well with richer dishes. Wet-stone minerals, blackberries, red cherries and some roasted spices on the nose, following through to a bone-dry, medium-to-full-bodied palate, with an even distribution of firm and fine-grained tannins. Drink or hold.
