Bodegas Exopto Rioja El Espinal de Exopto 2021
Region: Rioja, Spain
Variety: Maturana Tinta
Vintage: 2021
The Wine
El Espinal marks the inaugural label under Tom Puyaubert’s Colección Miguel Angel Mato. Sourced from a tiny 0.3-hectare vineyard at 650 meters altitude in San Vicente de la Sonsierra, this wine is made entirely from Maturana Tinta—a rare, almost-forgotten variety. Frenchman Tom Puyaubert, founder of Exopto, collaborates with grower Miguel Ángel Mato to farm these old bush vines using traditional methods, including cultivation by mule.
Cellared Says
A testament to traditional Rioja craftsmanship, offering a balance of ripe fruit and earthy undertones, embodying the essence of its high-altitude origins.
