Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The young and unoaked 2021 LZ from Rioja comes from a year with low yields in Lanciego and wines with lots of color and high acidity. It fermented in concrete with indigenous yeasts, where it matured for six to seven months before bottling. This is their Marcel Lapierre Morgon wannabe, juicy, fleshy, super drinkable, with a velvety texture. 65,017 bottles produced. It was bottled in April 2022.

Description
LZ is a red wine from the region, produced in La Rioja by Compañía Telmo Rodríguez. It is a blend of three different grape varieties: Tempranillo, Garnacha and Graciano.
These varieties come from different vineyards planted at 700 meters altitude, located on slopes in the village of Lanziego de Álava, where the soil composition is calcareous clay.
This red wine is the perfect accompaniment to spicy dishes, braised lamb, chicken curry, roast turkey, pasta with meat sauce and stuffed eggplant.
Winemaking
The grapes are harvested by hand and quality grapes are obtained with a careful selection of clusters. The vines used are cultivated using a head pruning system. This system is one of the oldest and most widespread in the world and is the key to obtaining the best wine.
LZ is made with grapes from vineyards of different plots, aged in foudres, also called barrels, and in barrels of different sizes and origins and with a very limited production.
In the winery, the must is fermented with indigenous yeasts in cement tanks. These vines give the wine a unique character, adding freshness, youth and lots of fruit.
Flavor
This is a red wine with aromatic potential. The grapes with which it is made give it a very particular character to the wine, as it is light, fruity, and with a certain acidity that gives it freshness.
In other words, it is delicious on the palate.
A fresh, young, fruity and juicy red wine.
LZ is a young red wine that comes from different plots in the village of Lanciego. These are vineyards of different suppliers of the winery that practice traditional viticulture. Moreover, it is a serious, sophisticated wine with a great aging capacity.
