About the wine
From a stunning vintage, this classy Rioja has a seriously elegant touch
- Gorka Etxebarria is "The best Rioja maker in the world" according to Decanter magazine and his uber-expensive Licenciado Reserva consistently scores a stunning 90 Parker Points to prove it.
- His newest Rioja Reserva is clearly a chip off the old block, knocking it out the park yet again and earing a shiny Gold medal in 2021's International Wine Challenge.
- From the same vineyard where he makes Licenciado, this is a top-notch Rioja full of characteristic black wild berry flavours and just a hint of warming oak. A decadent taste of the excellent 2017 vintage.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Gorka Etxebarria
- He's a gentle, modest young guy with very little to be modest about. After all how many winemakers his age have managed to win 90 points from the world's most influential wine critic, Robert Parker
- Burgo Viejo is owned by 6 families of farmers, not winemakers or salesmen. They used to simply sell their grapes and never see the true products of their labours. Then Gorka came to save the day and showed them exactly how good their grapes were!
- His second love is head banging guitar...and having tasted his wines, and heard his music, we should all be grateful that wine is his first love! Save everyone's ear drums, support this winemaker in his fantastic contribution to Spanish wines.
