Third party recommendation
"A true summer Rioja; not overly oaked, fresh but with strong flavours of strawberries red cherries which stays on the tongue almost indefinitely. A beautiful summer wine.."

Vallobera Pago Malarina
D.O.Ca. Rioja
"PAGO MALARINA" is one of the most renowned vineyards of the family San Pedro, located very close to Laguardia. It has 8 ha and is planted with 23 year old Tempranillo vines. The name “Pago Malarina” has been chosen for the young wine, 100% Tempranillo, of the Vallobera range, as it is produced from grapes coming from this vineyard.
Tasting note
Bright cherry red colour with purple hues. On the nose, the wine is youthful, clean, open and predominant aromas of fresh juicy fruit, red berries with mineral tones. Touch of noble tannins and vanilla tones of well integrated oak. On the palate the wine is full-bodied and reveals fine balance. The finish is rich and long with admirable persistence.
Pairing
The perfect accompaniment to grilled sea bream and lamb chops grilled over vine shoots.
Serve at 18ºC.
