Tasting note
The nose is on-point with a delicious high-toned perfume of blue fruit, fig, violet, pepper and spice. In the mouth it beats with vitality, with elevated acidity and chalky tannins cascading around a core of silky and fleshy floral-flecked fruit. It has complexity to burn, so give it a good decant if drinking young. It’s a fabulous wine that had us craving a dish of braised beef or a fillet of venison.

AT-A-GLANCE
• Frenchman Tom Puyaubert founded this Rioja estate in 2003.
• It covers 22 hectares of old bush vines spread across more than 30 plots on slopes in Rioja Alta and Rioja Oriental.
• The high-elevation sites are influenced by the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea and feature a mix of limestone, clay, sand and river rocks.
• Farming incorporates biodynamic principles, with soils ploughed by horse and yields kept low.
• Vinification occurs in cement, stainless steel tanks and large-format neutral French oak.
• Tempranillo, Garnacha, Graciano, Malvasía and Viura are the key varieties.
• The estate makes blended and (unusually for the region) single-vineyard wines. There is also a rosé.
IN THE PRESS
“It doesn’t take a long tradition or lots of start up capital to begin making serious Rioja wines of depth and longevity—as a small group of friends who used to play rugby together have proven over just a few years with their modest but ambitions winery, Exopto.”
Jesús Barquín, Luis Gutiérrez and Victor de la Serna, The Finest Wines of Rioja
-
“Exopto is one of the consolidated new names in Rioja. Frenchman Tom Puyaubert is nowadays producing better wines than ever. Always humble and down to earth, he is focusing more and more on the vineyards (yeah!)… In the winery he is settling with 600-liter demi-muids, and the oak feels better integrated in the wines, respecting the character of the different vineyards.”
Luis Gutiérrez, The Wine Advocate
