The wine is deep ruby red in colour with a dense texture.
The aromas are intense, luxurious. There is black cherry, wild strawberry, ripe plum, but also a good dose of vanilla, tobacco, leather and forest undergrowth.
A wine with an intense flavour and a soft texture. At the same time, it offers a good measure of acidity and velvety tannins. A full-bodied wine with an elegant, long-lasting flavour that captivates and seduces.
Grape varieties: tempranillo, graciano, garnacha
The El Rincon vineyard was planted in the south of Briones in 2001, mainly with tempranillo vines, but with a few graciana and garnacha vines.
The hand-harvested grapes were collected in small crates. The best bunches were then hand-selected and fermented in small stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature. Bodega Miguel Merino puts elegance before the power and temperament that characterise the wines of this picturesque region.
The wine was then aged for 12 months in oak barrels of a different use, which had previously been used for their Riserva wine. The barrel staves are made of American wood and the barrel heads are made of French wood. After six weeks, the barrels were topped up to minimise oxidation of the wine. After bottling, the wine underwent a further 12 months of cellaring.
Ageing potential: 6 years and more
Serving temperature: 14-16 °C

Miguel Merino je ena najmanjših kleti iz območja Rioja Alta. Gre za butično klet, ki svojo filozofijo kroji skozi sledenje eleganci. Leta 1994 jo je ustanovil Miguel Merino, ki je po dolgih letih izvažanja španskih vin po celem svetum uresničil svoje sanje o majhni in butični vinski kleti ‘bodegi’. Za svoj sedež je izbral Briones, eno najlepših vasi Rioje in, kar je še pomembneje, vas okoli katere so posajeni najstarejši vinogradi tega območja. Vsi njihovi vinogradi so v okolici vasice in so bili zasajeni med 1929 in 2001. Miguel z družino obdeluje skoraj 13 hektarjev in na leto pridela okoli 55.000 kg grozdja. Ukvarjajo se s tradicionalnim in trajnostnim vinogradništvom, brez uporabe herbicidov ter z veliko ročnega dela. Trgatev poteka ročno. Gre za zelo majhno, butično klet (ekipa 4 oseb), ki upravičeno velja za eno vodilnih tako imenovanega novega vala Rioja vin. Vina izvažajo v 23 držav. Na leto vstekleničijo približno 60.000 steklenic, ki jih sestavlja 7 različnih vin.
