A recognisable Rioja profile from a small producer, with traditional oak seasoning kept in proportion to the fruit.

A boutique Rioja Alta producer on the Camino de Santiago. Hand harvesting, native Rioja grapes and measured American and French oak give the Mileto wines a recognisably classical Rioja frame with clean contemporary fruit.

In the glass
Ripe red fruit, sweet spice and polished oak; vibrant acidity, smooth texture and a long, balanced finish.

How it is made
Manual harvest, five-day cold soak and 12 months in American and French oak.

Enjoy it with
Lamb chops, chorizo, roast pork or Manchego.
