José Luis Ripa Sáenz de Navarrete Description

José Luis Ripa Sáenz de Navarrete has seen the ins and outs of Rioja and knows its wine making history like no one else, having worked for many years with some of the most reputable houses in the region (full disclosure, he is married to Maria Jose Lopez de Heredia).

After seeing the many facets of the business he decided to create a label and make his own wine, a classic Spanish Aged Rosado from vineyards grown in one hectare in the Najerilla Valley, in Rioja Alta, which gets released with a little bit of bottle age.

** Only 516cs made **

José Luis Ripa produces one rosé in Rioja, but his idea is the rosé from Château Simone—a rosé with more color, more body, a rosé that goes with different food.

Wine Advocate: 91 Points

The rosé 2018 RIPA Vino Rosado follows the same path as the 2017, 60% Garnacha and 40% Tempranillo aged and matured in 225- and 500-liter oak barrels where the wine matured for 30 months. The vintage was quite cold, and the grapes were picked on October 20. The wine has a more vibrant palate and a lower pH, with more freshness. It's quite marked by the long élevage, so it takes on a specific profile with more nutty and spicy notes and a hint of nutmeg and cinnamon. It's spicy, vibrant, still round and lush, with a dark color, very different from the pale Provençal examples.
