"The Crianza bottling from Jon Peñagaricano’s Bodega Akutain is composed almost entirely of tempranillo with a bit of garnacha blended in... This is a serious example of Crianza and though it is approachable today it really deserves to be tucked away in the cellar for three or four more years to allow its secondary complexity to emerge. Fine fine juice and a great value! 2023-2045+.”

Bodega Akutain
Bodega Akutain’s history begins in the early 1970’s with the small family property’s founder, Juan Peñagaricano Akutain. Señor Akutain forged bonds with the families behind some of the Rioja region’s most storied traditionalist estates, including CVNE and La Rioja Alta.
After many years spent visiting the cellars, studying local vineyard techniques, and drinking every bottle of Rioja he could lay his hands on (all the while saving his earnings), Akutain was ready to plant his own vineyards.
He spent a few years searching for the perfect site and finally, in 1975, he found his dream property located just west of the village of Haro, the epicenter of Rioja.
