About the wine
Carlos' extra-special, 10-year anniversary Rioja is a summer pudding in a glass
-
If one man embodies the phrase ‘Naked Legend’, it’s Carlos Rodriguez. Our Mr Rioja has been wowing Angels with his silky-smooth Spanish reds since 2011 - winning Winemaker of the Year in 2012 - and to celebrate his 10 year anniversary, he’s made you an extra-special Crianza with all the classic flavours and textures he knows his Angels will love.
-
This lush red is summer pudding in a glass, with tempting aromas of strawberry, blackberry, redcurrant and raspberry all rounded off with a nice hit of tea leaves. Then on the palate, all that yummy fruit is lifted with a hint of vanilla and a ripe, velvety texture that slips down such a treat.
-
Carlos is super grateful for all the support you’ve given him over the years, and he’s sent this anniversary cracker with a top tip to enjoy it with a special meal. It’s the perfect rich and smooth red for a slap-up roast or stuff-your-face wine and cheese night. Salud!

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Carlos Rodriguez
-
Carlos is a highly-respected consultant oenologist, which means he travels all over Spain making other people’s wines taste delicious. He always dreamed that he could start his own winery and make wines with his name on the bottle but he was never able to raise the funds, and he used to joke that he’d need to take a gun to a bank to get the cash he needed!
-
That all changed in 2010, when someone forwarded our email to Carlos. We were looking for young, talented, Spanish winemakers to fulfill their potential and make wines for us. So he sent us some samples and we loved them so much, we asked him to hop on the next plane to come see us. At first, he thought he was joining a sect when he heard about Angels and Archangels, but the more he heard, the more he liked. And the rest is history…
-
Carlos is a Naked legend, former Winemaker of the Year, and loved by his Angels. With his insider knowledge from years spent on the road, and your backing behind him, he’s now able to snaffle up the best parcels in Spain to make top-class Riojas and Spanish wines just for you.
