Description

Bodegas Martinez Lacuesta has been making Rioja since 1895, so they have a bit of no how!

This is a 1962 vintage Reserva and the '62' vintage was deemed a Very Good vintage by the Rioja Regulatory Board. According to Winesearcher this is the second most expensive Rioja made in the Rioja Alta.

This estate has been producing wine since 1895, when it was founded by Félix Martínez Lacuesta, a 21-year-old lawyer, and his brothers. A politician and businessman, he laid the foundations of today's Denominación de Origen de Rioja.

Still a strictly family run business, in 2009 the estate moved out of the town of Haro to a new, 16,000-square-meter bodega designed by leading San Sebastián architects Fiark Arquitectos. It houses an underground winery along with offices, tasting rooms and a laboratory.

The company's general manager, Luis Martinez Lacuesta, says that building a new winery was "an important strategic decision. It meant a resounding architectural change, but our philosophy and our way of making wine remain the same, out of respect for our ancestors."

For Lacuesta, the inclusion of the Reserva Especial on the most-expensive list is recognition of the winery's "effort and enthusiasm to improve every day." Made only in excellent or very good vintages, the wine is a "soft, elegant, subtle and perfumed wine, with tannins and oak aromas very well assembled." Lacuesta cites "clayey calcerous soils, the Atlantic climate, and the nobility of the tempranillo grape" as vital components.
