Linea Kármán Rioja 2020

Made mostly from Garnacha from the Bodegas Gomez Cruzado, fruit is sourced from Rioja’s Cárdenas river valley. Red cherries, pomegranate and blood plums, there is a playful feel to the Kármán labels, that seeks to go beyond what traditionally has been done before in search of new limits. There is red brick and clay with hints of nutmeg, red paper strands and Togarashi spice. Oak has been applied cordially with a gentle hum to the palate weight. This is savoury without being covered in heavy oak char. A wine that would look delightful next to blackened chorizo and bread for soaking up the neon oil. Drink now or will cellar for 2-3 years.
