The eponymous 2022 Ukan has more black fruit, a sense of higher ripeness and 14.5% alcohol. It comes from three vineyards in Laguardia whose bunches are destemmed and the grapes sorted and selected. It fermented in 2,000-liter open-top oak vats, and the wine matured in 225-liter French oak barrels for 16 months. Naturally, there's more impact from the oak, and the wine is darker and the nose too. It's full bodied and has abundant tannins that are going to need a little more time in bottle.
Perfumed, floral, lively and expressive. It is a bold wine with serious structure and firm but sappy tannins. Purple fruit, plummy with strawberry and wild herbs, it is a wine of fresher zones that still offers plenty of substance and complexity. Powerful and spicy Rioja at its best.
