José Gil’s San Vicente Rioja Blend: A Masterpiece of Tempranillo & Garnacha Elegance

Discover José Gil’s signature San Vicente Rioja blend—a harmonious fusion of high-altitude Tempranillo, Grenache, and Viura grapes grown at elevations between 450–650 meters. Crafted from four meticulously tended plots aged 80–130 years, this wine embodies the cool-climate refinement of San Vicente paired with Burgundian precision, offering a seamless balance of structure and restraint.

Winemaking Excellence
Sourced from century-old vines thriving in Rioja’s elevated terroirs, the grapes undergo native-yeast fermentation in stainless steel before maturing for 10 months in a blend of concrete tanks and seasoned 500L French oak barrels. This meticulous approach preserves the wine’s vibrant fruitiness while imparting subtle spice and mineral undertones.

Tasting Experience
Expect a luminous bouquet of cherry compote and raspberry leaf, complemented by a hint of white pepper that evolves into a velvety mid-palate. The finish is crisp and mineral-driven, leaving a lingering impression of polished elegance—a true reflection of José Gil’s artisanal craftsmanship.

Perfect Pairings
Elevate your dining experience with this versatile Rioja: pair it with roast pigeon in black olive jus for a bold contrast, or let its silky texture harmonize with Jamón Ibérico or wild mushroom risotto.
