“A modern Rioja, the 2021 Sela is 89% Tempranillo, 7% Garnacha and 4% Graciano sourced from Rioja. Aged 12 months in oak barrels, this purple wine offers a reductive nose with peas, herbs, cherries, violets and liqueur-like aromas against a minty backdrop. Dry, rich and velvety, the fairly taut and dry tannins lead to a chalky, lasting texture.”
PRESS | 93 JS
“Pure and precise fruit with blue and red berries, stones, flowers and subtle spices. Vibrant and full of fruit on the palate with very fresh acidity and some fine, nicely steely tannins. Good concentration. Drink or hold.”
TASTING NOTES
Intense, fruity and cheerful, Sela is a wine with a lot of liveliness. Red fruits in the line of fresh cherries dominate with undertones of sage and cedar. The structure is gracefully supported with fine, silky tannins for a persistent, lovely finish.
