Arizcuren SoloMazuelo Ánfora is a 2022 red from Rioja, made from 100% Mazuelo (Carignan). It shows black plum and redcurrant aromas over a slightly earthy base from the amphora. The grapes come from the La Cantera and El Arenal vineyards at 2000 feet, on sandy-loam soils, and are hand harvested in small crates. After cold maceration and fermentation in open stainless steel tanks, the wine goes through malolactic fermentation and 8 months of ageing in unlined earthenware amphorae. Only 1700 bottles were made.
Javier Arizcuren comes from a family of wine growers in Quel, in La Rioja Baja, and works as an architect. After studying viticulture and oenology, he began making wine in 2009 and took over the family vineyards in 2011. His project uses only the best plots, with bush vines of Garnacha and Mazuelo between 40 and 130 years old, farmed organically without herbicides, pesticides or synthetic fertilizers.
