"ANZA Diego Magana Rioja Especial is sourced about 70% from Villalba and 30% from Las Navas, 75-90 year-old parcels in Laguardia that Diego works entirely by horse. Destemmed and fermented in netural open-top foudre, raised about 12 months in neutral 500L French barrels." —winemaker

"The 2021 Anza Especial was produced with the idea to obtain a wine with aging potential while keeping the freshness and drinkability from early on. It was produced with the fruit from three old vines—Tempranillo, Graciano, Garnacha and Viura—fermented by plot in stainless steel and matured in used 500-liter oak barrels. It encapsulates the perfume, finesse and elegance that is present in the whole portfolio here with the aid of a very balanced 2021 vintage. It has notes of violets, red and black berry fruit, wild herbs and subtle spices. The palate has symmetry, elegance and precision, the tannins are extremely fine-bonded, and the flavors pure and precise and stay in your mouth for a long time after you swallow. Great juice. It should age effortlessly. 2,800 bottles produced. It was bottled in January 2023." —Wine Advocate
