Climate and Weather Patterns in Rioja
Rioja’s climate is shaped by its position in the Ebro River valley, between the Cantabrian Mountains to the north and the Demanda and Cameros ranges to the south.

Review: The Smart Traveller’s Wine Guides for Tuscany, Bordeaux, and Rioja

Longrow 23 Year Old Cadenhead / 100° Proof (2026)
Here were have two recent Longrow expressions. The first is a 23 year old sherry cask from Cadenhead's Original Collection . A semi-official release so to speak.After that we have a true official bottling: the second release in the new Longrow 100° Proof series. We had the first batch (Pinot Noir) last year. I still don't understand why the name Longrow Red had to change if it's still about red wine casks after all. Longrow 23 yo (43,7%, Cadenhead's Original Collection 2026, Oloroso sherry hogshead) Nose: smoked fruit. Big hints of strawberry jam, blackberries and cherries. This comes with mild sooty notes and a nice dustiness, old leather and hints of cigar boxes. Then caramelized almonds, tobacco leaves, dark cocoa and prunes. After a while it comes closer to Springbank, with more brightness and a nice citrusy side. Mouth: a rather waxy fruitiness, not unlike those 1991 Laphroaigs of late. Some medicinal notes, becoming a little bittersweet and tangy. A winey touch, but nothing

Artuke Finca de los Locos, 2021
Blend of Tempranillo, Graciano, Viura grapes - I asked for an unusual Rioja with a lighter touch. An interesting chat about Graciano ensued. It is being used more widely in Rioja adding perfume and a higher acid freshness. Evident in the primary floral note aromas. Interesting to have the familiar tannic structure restrained and balanced by acidity. Viura, the white grape widely planted in Rioja (Macabeo in France), also adds to the floral character. Viura also has decent aging potential so with these two grape varieties blended with more familiar Tempranillo, this is an unusual treat from Rioja. Bottle weight 582.5g - A decent effort for sustainability. UK price ~£30
