In the backwaters of Rioja, Telmo Rodriguez is seen as revolutionary. Sprung from his family's Remelluri estate, he trained in Bordeaux, became a consultant and now creates some of the most hedonistic wines in Rioja's Alavesa, relentlessly seeking out and restoring forgotten vineyards to glory. From ancient, terraced vines, LZ is a blend of Tempranillo, Graciano, and Garnacha. Spice, thyme and violets on the nose; smoky, intense red fruit flavours; ideal with lamb.
