Unleashing the true essence of Rioja's highlands, Luberri's Florus is the unpretentious cool kid on the block. This wine is a love letter from Florentino Monje, a farmer at heart who made a name for himself by resurrecting the traditional winemaking style of semi-carbonic maceration of Rioja. This light, juicy and crushable Rioja is crafted from 95% Tempranillo and 5% Moscatel de Alejandría, fermented in clay amphorae, paying homage to the styles that locals have always cherished.
But this ain't your average Rioja. Inspired by the winemaking methods prior to the French influence, Florus is produced from Matagallina, a single 60-year-old estate vineyard situated between 450m and 500m. Following the rhythm of the biodynamic calendar, these grapes are hand-farmed without synthetic inputs, crushed by foot in stone lagares, resulting in a wine that's garden-fresh like a bouquet of violets and clovers. This Rioja is a joyride for your senses, enhancing your moment with its bright, herbaceous soul, and a lingering finish that promises an unforgettable experience.
