Maisulan El Hondón 2020
Discover a wine that celebrates place, people and purpose: Maisulan El Hondón 2020 is born from sustainably-farmed vines in the elevated vineyards of Rioja Alavesa.
At this boutique family-run estate, every step — from hand-harvesting to barrel-maturation in 225 L French casks — is guided by a dedication to the land. The result: a deeply expressive, structured red with soulful character. Elegant yet grounded, it reflects the limestone-rich soils, Atlantic-cooled climate and the mindful craft of winemaking. This is Rioja with integrity and distinctiveness — for those who seek more than just a pretty glass.
🥂 Tasting Notes
Appearance: Medium to deep garnet colour.
Nose: Dark and savoury with nuances of black cherry, blackberry, black licorice, white pepper, earthy mushrooms and forest-floor undertones.
Palate: A compelling combination of ripe dark fruit and structure: smoky dark berries, basil and subtle clove spice. The tannins are well-integrated yet present, acidity fresh, giving a long finish marked by mineral tones and a savoury dry edge.
Food Pairing: Versatile enough to partner robust dishes: grilled lamb, beef, rich stews, mature cheeses, or simply as a contemplative wine on its own. The structure and depth reward a bit of age or decanting for immediate enjoyment.
