A shared vision of balance and authenticity
The Charge evokes the criss-crossing of Rioja by medieval knights and pilgrims on the Santiago de Compostela trail.
Working with the excellent Borja Ripa of Bodegas Manzanos in Azagra, Rioja Baja, we have crafted a wine with excellent red berry and spicy fruit with refreshing acidity balanced by fine vanilla flavours from oak maturation. The Charge red is made from grapes mainly from the bodega’s own vineyards - 70% Tempranillo, 20% Garnacha and 10% Graciano, harvested mid September 2021. The wine was aged for an average 7 months in a mix of French and American oak barrels.
