Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The superb, complex and elegant 2020 Tabuerniga comes from a challenging year, as the vineyard was hit with hail. It fermented in open-top 3,000-liter oak vats with indigenous yeasts and matured in 1,500-liter oak foudres for 14 to 16 months. The Tabuérniga terraces were the first to be harvested in 2020, from the sixth of October, and still the wine has a moderate 14% alcohol. It's elegant, expressive, clean, focused and balanced, combining power and elegance, with fine tannins and a long finish. 3,960 bottles were filled in April 2022. They have six hectares here, and they only produce this limited number of bottles.

Description
Tabuerniga is an exclusive crianza red wine made in the historic and beautiful village of Labastida in Rioja Alavesa by the Compañía de Telmo Rodríguez. This wine is a blend of Tempranillo (mostly Tempranillo), Garnacha and Graciano grape varieties.
These varieties come from small vineyards that are very special to Telmo Rodríguez, located in an impressive landscape of terraces that reach between 540 and 630 metres above sea level and where the grapes are grown organically, respecting tradition.
This magnificent wine is the perfect accompaniment to roast meats, stews and vegetable stews.
Winemaking
The grapes are harvested by hand and quality grapes are obtained, with a careful selection of bunches in the vineyard itself.
In the winery, the must is fermented in open oak vats with indigenous yeasts and then aged for 14 to 16 months in oak foudres, following the strictest tradition of the area.
Taste
Tabuerniga is an exclusive red wine with spicy notes, floral touches and a fruity background. The tannins are soft, it has good acidity, balance and a long, persistent finish.
An elegant, fine and very subtle wine.
Tabuerniga comes from the most beautiful vineyard in La Rioja, cultivated organically and respecting the environment. The fruits of this vineyard produce a sober and austere wine, very distinguished.
It is a refined crianza red wine, with a sense of harmony and depth that place it among the best of the Rioja Alavesa wines.
