The Winery: Bodegas Riojanas
"We visited Bodegas Riojanas in Cenicero, Rioja where we were greeted by Emilio Sojo Nalda, who was named "Best Winemaker of Rioja" in The Drinks Business magazine’s Master Winemaker 100 (2023). Emilio conveyed an extreme passion for his craft as he spoke about the recent vintages in the middle of the incredible vineyards. His gift is so evident in his wines, which we were treated to along with a wide mixture of tapas, in the winery that evening.
"The highlight of the trip for me was getting to taste the 1964 Monte Real Rioja Gran Reserva which was showing excellently – an extremely fresh expression of fruit infused with blackberries, cranberries, plums, with savoury notes of black pepper, clove, vanilla, dark chocolate, and a balsamic touch." Pearse Greally - Store Manager, O’Briens Glasnevin
