90 POINTS Wine Diva/Wine Scores
(Daenna Van Mulligen)

"This charming white is a blend of sustainably grown Verdejo (85%), Sauvignon Blanc (3%) and Viura (12%). It's a wonderfully fragrant wine, which doles out honeysuckle, peach stone, lemon balm and sweet grassy notes. It's also a pristine wine with impressive vibrancy. There's an appealing concentration of flavours here - floral, citrus and herbs with a good dose of mineral and zesty, grapefruit peel trails across the finish. A wine for fresh seafood salads, oysters, tangy goat's cheese or lemon and herb pasta." November 2012

AVAILABILITY:  SPEC, Good Stock Available

90 POINTS Wine Advocate

"The 2011 L.Z. is fermented and aged in cement and includes seasonings of Garnacha and white varieties such as Viura and Malvasia. It offers red currant and pomegranate mixed with clay-like aromas that unfurl teasingly with aeration. The palate is well-balanced with crisp, taut tannins. There is a core of raspberry leaf, citrus peel, chalk and dried orange peel that lead to an electrifying, tense finish. This is a fine entry-level wine. Drink now-2016+" August 2012

90 POINTS Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar

"Glass-staining ruby. Smoky, oak-spiced aromas of cherry-cola and licorice, with subtle floral and mineral notes adding complexity. Sappy and expansively vibrant dark berry flavors that gain sweetness with air. Velvety tannins add shape to the finish, which leaves peppery spice and mocha notes behind."

93 POINTS Wine & Spririts Magazine
"You won't find a wine like this outside Galicia. It's not just the wild energy, the mash-up of stemmy greenness with dark fruit ripeness. You can find that in a great Chambolle. It's more the contrast of floral and meaty scents, as if violets were pressed into chorizo. And the tannins, as black as carbon, integrating with the fruit into a dark-lashed beauty." October 2011

AVAILABILITY:  SPEC, Limited Stock Available

91 POINTS Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar

"Bright ruby-red. Sexy, floral-accented aromas of candied red fruits, cherry-cola and Asian spices, with slow-building tobacco and licorice nuances. Fleshy and expansive on the palate, offering sweet cherry and black raspberry flavors and a touch of cracked pepper. Finishes with very good energy and length, leaving floral and cola notes behind."

Telmo Rodriguez - Winemaker

Enologist and founder of the Telmo Rodríguez wine company in 1994. Telmo Rodriguez is one of Spain's pioneer winemakers, advocating native grape varietals tied to the climates and conditions of their sites, and making world-class wines from undiscovered as well as known regions. Perhaps most impressive, while Telmo Rodriguez makes rare and limited wines of astonishing character and quality, his everyday wines have been equally praised, and widely recognized for the tremendous value they offer.

Telmo studied viticulture and oenology at the University of Bordeaux and was the winemaker at his family winery in Rioja, Remelluri, and then set off on his own in the early 1990s to discover new vineyards and regions all around Spain. He now makes a range of wines in diverse viticultural areas of Spain, with an emphasis on the following:

  • Telmo's vineyards are biodynamically farmed
  • All vines are exclusively bush-trained, the traditional Spanish method
  • Sites with exceptional terroir.
  • Varietals traditional to their regions
  • Replanting only with massal selections
Telmo was among the first to make significant wines in Toro, Rueda, Valdeorras, Malaga, Alicante and Cigales. In these areas he uses native varietals, often grapes rediscovered such as Godello, Verdejo, Moscatel and Monastrell which do not have wide recognition. With other classically recognized varietals such Tempranillo and Garnacha, he works with vines that are indigenous and reflect the character of their particular site. As a result, Telmo has been one of the leaders of the quality revolution with these varietals in up and coming areas such as Toro, as well as in the traditional areas of Rioja and Ribera del Duero.
