Bodegas Amezola de la Mora,

Our 2015 vintage Rioja continues the excellent work done by sisters Maria and Cristina Amezola de la Mora. More structured than previous vintages, the wine oozes dark blackberry fruit, lifted by red fruit freshness. However, this is no simple Crianza: a dollop of Reserva wine adds a serious touch. It is long, delicious and extremely moreish.

Bodegas Amezola de la Mora,
Drink now,
Medium ruby in colour, Amézola’s 2015 Crianza has really good structure. Fine-grained tannins are complemented by oozing dark blackberry fruit and lifted by red fruit freshness which mirrors the elegant nose. As a Crianza, this wine has been aged for 15 months in oak (60 percent American and 40 percent French). This gives the wine hints of vanilla spice and nutmeg which are beautifully combined with generous, ripe fruit notes. Ready to drink now, try this with charcuterie or roast pork belly.

Bodegas Amezola de la Mora was established in the mid-19th Century and is one of Rioja's oldest and finest wine estates. Restored in the early 1980s by the flamboyant Iñigo Amezola de la Mora, this estate is extremely unusual (for Rioja) in that it owns all of its vines.
The 65 hecatres of vineyards, planted with Tempranillo, Mazuelo and Graciano, benefit from a high altitude and cooler climate, and yield elegant, classic wines packed full of harmonious red berry and vanilla flavours.
Tragically, Iñigo was killed in 1999 in a car crash, but his wife Kitty and bodega manager Julio Galarreta have continued making outstanding wines, supported by renowned Bordeaux winemaker, Georges Pauli.
