TASTING NOTE

A bright fruit-bursting wine that emphasises vineyard over bodega, which discards the hackneyed image of Rioja, everything about this wine is intentionally provocative to challenge your view on what Rioja is. Careful. This kitty has claws. This wine stands out for its red and black fruits and liquorice aromas. Fresh and round with a multitude of nuances supporting the black fruit flavours. Organic and vegan friendly!

ABOUT THE PRODUCER

Gatito Loco craft wines in the best traditions of this classic region but fuse cutting-edge viticultural and winemaking techniques to create a modern interpretation of what they believe to be individual, pure expressions of the Rioja Baja vineyards that they call home. It is beyond doubt that Rioja is one of the foremost wine regions in the world, but that doesn't mean there is no potential to be tapped or no new approaches to be explored. The team behind these wines definitely believe this and have been focusing more and more on what goes on in the vineyard than the bodega.

Working with selected vineyards that have been converted and transformed into organic certified oases, the resulting wines are all about the fruit rather than winery and the ageing process. This 'loco' approach to the accepted Riojan wisdom has put the winery in stark contrast to the establishment and they seized their chance to create something fun, fresh and lively. Gatito Loco was born.
