Finca Egomei, Rioja Tinto 2020

Finca Egomei Rioja Tinto 2020 is a refined red from Alfaro, one of the easternmost and most Mediterranean-influenced areas of Rioja. A blend centred on Tempranillo and Graciano, it combines ripe dark fruit with mineral freshness and 14 months of French oak ageing, creating a wine with both elegance and depth. The wine comes from the historic Estarijo estate, whose vineyards have been cultivated for quality since 1975.

Tasting Notes
Deep ruby-red in appearance, the wine opens with a mineral-driven aroma layered with dark berries, ripe plum and subtly sweet, spicy notes from the oak. On the palate, it is generous and polished, with mature, rounded tannins and a pleasing balance between ripe fruit and finely integrated French oak. The finish is smooth, elegant and persistent, with a refined sense of savoury complexity. Approachable now thanks to its rounded structure, the 2020 vintage should develop further over the next several years. With suitable cellaring, it can gain additional softness and complexity over approximately five to eight years.

Production
The vineyards and winery are located on the historic Estarijo estate in Alfaro, where Rioja’s warmer, more Mediterranean climate helps the Tempranillo and Graciano grapes achieve ripe, expressive fruit. The grapes are harvested once they have reached the desired balance of ripeness and freshness, then vinified before the wine is matured for 14 months in French oak barrels from Allier. This careful ageing adds finesse and complexity while preserving the wine’s natural fruit character.

Food & Serving
A versatile partner for grilled red meats, game and hearty Spanish dishes, Finca Egomei Rioja Tinto 2020 is especially well suited to Iberico ham, paella and toasted bread with tomato and olive oil. Serve lightly below room temperature, ideally at 16–18°C. Decanting is not essential, but giving the wine 30–60 minutes in a decanter can help open its mineral, fruity and oak-influenced aromas.

Producer
Finca Egomei is based at the historic Estarijo estate in Alfaro, in the eastern part of La Rioja. The estate was opened in 1919, while the current vineyards were planted from 1975 with a focus on producing high-quality wines from Tempranillo and Graciano. Its Mediterranean setting and emphasis on careful French-oak maturation give the wines a distinctive combination of ripe fruit, structure and elegance.
