‘The pale white 2022 La Nave Blanco, 90% Viura and 10% Garnacha Blanca, was produced in a fresh, light and clean and modern style, with moderate alcohol (12%) and ripeness, very good freshness and acidity and was bottled after six months in concrete with lees. It's tasty and easy to drink, very pleasant. 3,082 bottles were filled in June 2023.’ – Luis Gutiérrez, Wine Advocate, 91/100

Producer information | Former Young Gun, Bryan MacRobert, moved to Rioja 7 years ago to start Laventura. Today, his new terroir-driven wines are causing a fuss! ‘I want to make Rioja as it once was. I’m trying to make honest wines,’ says Bryan whose wines are refreshing, innovative and true-to-terroir style of Rioja. With cellars located in the centre of La Rioja, they source high-quality grapes from the whole region. The vineyards are often 40 to 90 years old and harvesting is done by hand. ‘It’s time to take Rioja far more seriously,’ writes Tim Atkin MW as the Rioja landscape changes dramatically. |
