| | Diego Magaña is one of the hottest names in the new generation of young Spanish winemakers, and as great as his wines are, he’s only just getting started. These juicy, floral, and captivating wines place the boundlessly energetic and curious young Magaña straight into the top rank of the new Rioja idiom, one respectful of the great terroir and viticultural tradition of the region but unencumbered by the established ‘Crianza-Reserva-Gran Reserva’ hierarchy. It’s exciting to think that he has nowhere to go but up when he’s already operating at this level.

| 94 Points Wine Advocate “There is a purity and transparency, and the aromas are clean and precise, floral and delicate. The palate is juicy and graceful, like a ballerina moving slowly, with very fine tannins and that chalky sensation I associate with limestone soils. It feels easy to drink but it has complexity and is focused, and it finishes long and dry. It's truly delicious, a Rioja about finesse and with less concentration…” — Luis Gutierrez
