About this wine

Vega Piedra Rioja Tinto is a fresh, approachable, and great-value unoaked Rioja from selected vineyards in Rioja Alta — one of the appellation's most celebrated sub-zones, known for producing wines of elegance and finesse. Made from 100% Tempranillo by winemaker Roberto de Carlos, this is a young, vibrant Rioja that showcases the variety's natural red berry fruit and gentle spice without the weight of oak ageing. Vegan and vegetarian. Screwcap. Why You'll Love It Rioja is Spain's most famous wine region, and Tempranillo is its signature grape — but not all Rioja needs to be oak-aged and serious. Vega Piedra is the other side of the coin: bright, juicy, and immediately enjoyable, with the kind of fresh red fruit character that makes it as easy to open on a Tuesday as it is to serve at a dinner party. At this price, it's one of the best-value Riojas on the market. Vineyard & Production Tempranillo grapes are harvested in early October from vineyards in Rioja Alta, with vines averaging 10–20 years old. The wine is vinified unoaked to preserve the variety's natural freshness and vibrant fruit character. 13% ABV. Screwcap closure. Contains sulphites. Tasting Notes Lifted red berry fruit and hints of spice on the nose. The palate is bright and fresh — more red fruit, smooth tannins, and a clean, lively finish. Approachable, easy-drinking, and very moreish. Perfect Pairings Excellent with lamb kebabs, grilled chicken, stuffed peppers, and tomato-based pasta dishes. Also a great match for tapas, charcuterie, and light meat dishes. Grape Variety Tempranillo 100%.
