Telmo Rodriguez
Winemakers Telmo Rodríguez and Pablo Eguzkiza began their company in 1994 with Alma, an old-vine Garnacha from Navarra made when international grapes dominated. Their work travels across Spain to recover local varieties, historic terraces and neglected vineyard sites, now spanning 355 parcels, about 80 hectares and 43 native varieties. The portfolio moves from Rioja and Rueda to Cebreros, Valdeorras and Alicante, matching Corriente, Basa, Pegaso, Gaba do Xil and Al-Muvedre in this catalogue. Replanting original vines, rebuilding walls and reviving old cellars connects these otherwise distinct regional projects.
Telmo Rodríguez 2024 Basa Rueda
Spanish White
$31.99
Grapefruit, white currant and spring flowers open the nose, with a stony mineral note and a hint of tropical fruit underneath. The palate is crisp, dry and medium-bodied, driven by bright acidity and clean citrus fruit. Refreshing yet composed, it finishes balanced and direct, with enough texture to feel serious without losing its easy-drinking charm.
Telmo Rodríguez 2022 Corriente Rioja
Spanish Red
$36.99
Wild berries and spice appear with a creamy texture, spicy oak and dusty tannins. Tempranillo, Graciano and Garnacha come from bush vines in Lanciego, where the fruit is harvested by hand. Native-yeast fermentation takes place in concrete. Maturation lasts approximately twelve months in old oak barrels and foudres. The wine is lightly filtered and is suitable for vegan and vegetarian diets.
Telmo Rodríguez 2019 Gaba do Xil Mencía
Spanish Red
$36.99
Red fruit appears with floral notes, herbs and sweet spice. Fine-grained tannins and acidity accompany depth, persistence and fluidity. Forest floor, bay leaf and nettle add further herbal character, while earth and cherry appear on the finish. The wine remained completely unoaked before bottling. It comes from Valdeorras and uses Mencía as its stated grape.
Telmo Rodriguez 2014 Pegaso Granito
Spanish Red
$72.99
Blackberry, black cherry, thyme, rosemary and earthy notes accompany a deep ruby colour. The palate is fleshy and concentrated, with firm tannins, mild acidity and a mineral finish. Orange, lime, bark, forest floor, spice and red fruit are also present. The texture is balanced and expands across the back of the palate, adding length. This is a dry Garnacha red.
Telmo Rodriguez 2017 La Estrada Rioja
Spanish Red
$143.99
Dark cherry and dried red fruit meet potpourri, leather and a quiet earthy note. The palate is ripe yet fresh, with red and dark fruit framed by dusty tannins, subtle spice and restrained vanilla. A faint rustic character gives the wine texture and individuality, while the finish remains long and composed. Decant before serving with roast lamb, grilled pork, braised beef, mushrooms or aged Manchego.
Sierra De Gredos 2017 Pegaso
Spanish Red
$89.99
Perfumed and highly expressive, with lifted aromas of red berries, wild herbs, thyme and floral notes. The palate is fresh and energetic, showing ripe red fruit, spice and a distinct slate and granite-driven minerality. Fine, chalky tannins and bright acidity give structure, leading to a long, precise, mountain-driven finish. A pure and elegant expression of high-altitude Garnacha from Sierra de Gredos.
Telmo Rodríguez 2019 Pegaso Arrebatacapas Cebreros
Spanish Red
$121.99
Cherry red and taut, with red berries, sweet spice and balsamic herbs drawing the nose into a cool, scrubland character. The palate is firmly structured yet energetic, its bright acidity lifting the fruit and keeping the savoury detail precise. Peppery spice and herbal freshness linger on the dry, focused finish.
