A new modern winery, Dinastia Vivanco make modern styled Rioja's with the focus firmly on bright, juicy fruit flavours. Owned by the Vivanco family, the winery sits alongside what is generally regarded to be the world's greatest museum of wine. The Museum houses treasures acquired over two generations by the Vivanco family from ancient Egyptian art through to works by Picasso. The whole experience is testimony to an extraordinary family's passion for all things vinous.
Vivanco Viura / Malvasia 2007 £6.89 + Vat A clear and bright wine with a pale lemon colour and slight green hints indicating its youthfulness. Intense aromas of green apple, citrus fruits, pineapple and floral notes that round out the varietal expression.
Dinastia Vivanco Crianza Rioja 2004 £8.92 + Vat Elegant, well-balanced Crianza Rioja with deep, mulberry, cinnamon and plum fruit. The 2004 vintage is a little, riper and more full-bodied than previous releases owing to the warmth of the vintage.
Dianstia Vivanco Reserva Rioja 2001 £12.59 + Vat Complex aromas of spicy oak and eucalyptus overlaid with black and red fruits. A deliciously rounded mouthful, with soft, supple tannins, and hints of toast and liquorice on the finish.
Dinastia Vivanco Coleccion Vivanco 4 Varietales £32.32 + Vat Where the single varietal wines showcase the individual characters of each of the 4 permitted varieties, the 4 Varietales combines them in a complex, elegant and modern wine.
Dinastia Vivanco Parcelas de Graciano 2005 £40.35 + Vat The Coleccion range is about sharing a passion for Rioja and for great wine, just as the Vivanco family do with the rest of their collection in their museum of wine culture.
