2021 saw Miguel Merino Snr rightly take his place in Tim Atkin's prestigious hall of fame for legendary Rioja producers. Sadly, it was only months later than the great man passed away.
Señor Merino spent years exporting cooperative wines until, in the 1990s, he converted an old farmhouse into his own small winery in Briones, seeking tough vineyard plots around the town which nobody else wanted to farm.
Working with his son (also Miguel), they combined traditional horse power and hand picking with modern methodology to produce finely crafted and elegant wines. And Miguel Jnr will now continue to build on his father’s legacy with wines like this one.
This rare 100% Mazuelo is only produced in special vintages and spends 12 months in French and American oak and a concrete tank. It's full bodied and powerful yet meticulously balanced.
Part of our LAID DOWN & TANNIN range this wonderful wine will benefit from a few years more in bottle and will be undoubtedly worth the wait.

We clean up after ourselves.
Ecommerce deliveries have a carbon footprint. That's why we support verified projects that remove carbon from the air.
Every delivery’s carbon footprint is calculated based on weight, shipping method, and distance traveled. We neutralize these emissions by purchasing verified carbon removal credits from groundbreaking projects. When you add a contribution to your order, 100% of that money is used to pay for additional carbon removal.


With your purchase, you’ll join a community of proactive merchants and customers dedicated to a sustainable future. Together, we've removed emissions for over 60 million deliveries and removed over 43 thousand tonnes of carbon.
We work with a network of pioneering carbon removal companies that have been vetted by the commerce platform Shopify.
