Vinedos de Paganos La Nieta Rioja 2022 is a full-bodied red from Rioja, La Rioja, Spain, produced by Vinedos de Paganos. Centered on Tempranillo, this wine combines recognizable regional character with a polished, expressive structure. The aromatic and flavor profile brings together black cherry, plum, violet, graphite, toast and spice with dense structure and polished tannins. On the palate, the fruit is layered with savory detail, balanced freshness and a measured tannic frame that gives the wine shape while preserving elegance. The texture builds steadily through the mid-palate, while spice, earth and mineral accents add complexity without masking the fruit. The finish is persistent, clean and composed, showing good balance between ripeness, acidity and structure. It is a versatile expression of Rioja that can be enjoyed now with some air and also has enough depth for thoughtful cellaring.
