Finca Libertad Tinto NV

From a Rioja bodega of a few generations standing, Javier Murúa has a great network of contacts. He's always the first to hear when there's a parcel of quality grapes or a special vat of wine that needs a home. He's not confined to Rioja either – he has friends all over Spain. From these he blends some great wines, both in terms of flavour and value. Finca Libertad is an silky-smooth, fruity Tempranillo from vineyards throughout northeast Spain. It may have simple 'Vino Tinto' on the label, but it tastes much finer than that. Using purely the prized grape of Rioja, Tempranillo, it's bursting with juicy plum, redcurrant and black cherries. It's delicious alongside tapas, garlic mushrooms or chicken – but just as great as a glass on its own.
