Vega Piedra Rioja Tinto, DOC Rioja, ESP

Producer Profile

Sourced from selected vineyards in the prestigious Rioja Alta sub-region, Vega Piedra is a fresh, vibrant expression of Tempranillo, offering superb value and immediate drinkability. Crafted in a youthful, unoaked style, it’s Rioja stripped back to its fruit-driven core—pure, honest, and utterly enjoyable.

Viticulture & Winemaking

The Tempranillo grapes are hand-harvested in early October from vines aged between 10 and 20 years. Grown in the cooler, higher-altitude sites of Rioja Alta, the fruit retains excellent natural acidity and aromatic freshness.

Vinified without oak, the focus is on purity—highlighting the variety’s bright red fruit character and gentle spice, with soft tannins and a clean finish.

Tasting Notes

An approachable, youthful Rioja with lively red berry aromas and a touch of spice. The palate is juicy and vibrant, offering flavours of raspberry and cherry with smooth tannins and a refreshingly crisp finish.

Food Pairing

 A versatile red that’s ideal for everyday meals. Enjoy with lamb kebabs, grilled chicken, stuffed peppers, or a selection of Spanish tapas.
