Description
A single-vineyard red from Rioja, made by Viñedos de Páganos from vines planted in 1975 in Páganos and farmed without irrigation. The 2023 La Nieta spent sixteen months in new French oak, a long stint that Tempranillo of this pedigree tends to absorb without losing its shape. What emerges is a wine built for precision rather than weight, a portrait of one site in a vintage it clearly handled well.
The nose leans delicate but concentrated, red fruit lifted by balsamic notes and the quiet complexity that comes with barrel aging. On the palate it moves with real agility, energetic and light on its feet even as the texture stays soft. Fine tannins carry it forward, and a chalky thread runs through a finish that lands long

Expert Reviews
From vines planted in 1975 in Páganos and farmed in dry conditions, the 2023 La Nieta was aged 16 months in new French oak barrels. The vineyard handles the vintage well, bringing delicate yet intense red fruit, balsamic touches, and subtle aging notes to the nose. On the palate, it is energetic, moving with agility despite its soft texture. Fine tannins and a hint of chalk deepen the finish. Precise and vibrant, La Nieta captures the finesse of Páganos with clarity and energy, ending long and beautifully defined. (Vinous, April 2026)
