Tempranillo

Rioja

This wine is classic Rioja with no oak. Full of fruit that is has been developed to suit a UK consumers profile. Its beautiful throughout and very well priced in the Rioja market.

Punchy ripe fruit makes this wine an approaching wine for Rioja that is surprisingly bold on the finish. Great layers throughout that would certainly complement a Sunday roast!

BLANCO

Rioja

This crafted white wine is so well structured its hard to understand why it doesn’t rival the reds. The layers are very consistent on the nose as well as the palate and finish. Its primary fruit is carried into a creamy mid palate that offers the Sauvignon crispness to give a outstanding white.

Rosado

Rioja

Short skin maceration and gentle pressed. The clean and fresh must is fermented in stainless steel tanks at low temperature (15-18ºC) using selected yeast.

crianza

Rioja

Crianza is like heaven wrapped up in in a duvet and placed in a bottle! The blend of punchy fruit characters with the subtle undertones of 12 months in oak barrels helps give this wine the texture, length and roundness of any aspiring palate. Elegant, beautiful and well structured.

reserva

Rioja

This wine is one of the most consistent, well crafted Rioja’s in the Atrio range. Its texture and balance certainly gives it a step up to the Crianza which recently achieved 92 points by Suckling, yet this wine offers more complexity which on the finish is long, soft and rounded. Classic Rioja, classic oak, with a notch up on the volume!

edicion limitada

This is like the baby brother to Finca el Rubio. Its limited edition comes from certain vintages that produce outstanding quality from the plots close to the winery. A blend of Tempranillo and Graciano, this wine is hand selected grapes finished in 225 litre French oak barrels.

gran seleccion

Rioja

The official wine of La Liga football in Spain! This is a complex wine that carry’s a note similar to Crianza with small ageing properties , yet its finish is well fruit driven. The balance of quality but not overpowering is evident with this wine. A bit like a Barcelona free kick!

finca el rubio

This is the winemakers secret blend. Declassified as a Joven, this wine is actually a blend of wine that has been in oak for around 10 to 14 months and then rested in the bottle for a further 8 to 12 months.
