Tasting Notes

"The Bodega Akutain 2017 Reserva is another outstanding, old school bottle of Rioja from Jon Peñagaricano. The bouquet is deep and complex, wafting from the glass in a mix of black raspberries, cassis, cigar smoke, Rioja spice tones, a fine base of soil, coffee bean and a fine foundation of American oak. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and starting to get nicely velvety on the attack, with a superb core of fruit, lovely soil inflection, tangy acids, suave, fine-grained tannins and a long, impeccably balanced and complex finish. First class Rioja Reserva. 2023-2065+"

The Producer

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.
