A surprisingly fresh, delicate and fruity Rioja given its age, the secret behind Siglo is that following three years in old oak it has been carefully stored in an old concrete tank underground until bottling recently. This concrete storage means the wine has retained vigour, red fruit flavour and brightness with virtually no oaky flavour. Creamy, supple and soft, this offers a unique take on modern Rioja and an opportunity to try something that is 20 years old at a brilliant price.

The wine is showing more fruit (a good thing) and less of the oaky character than many would expect from a Rioja. Bodegas Manzanos took an unusual step in making this wine by storing it in concrete (after barrel ageing) until 2021 when it was bottled. This retains vibrancy and freshness, rather than the savoury flavours associated with more classic Rioja. 

One of the things that defines Bodegas Manzanos is the large area of vineyards that they own in different parts of Rioja. This is why they are able to elaborate a red wine that truly represent Rioja and its varieties of Terroir. 

This is a perfect match for a Lamb dishes or Shepperds Pie.

Siglo Rioja

Very impressed given the wines age, It was soft and gentle on the palate.....

RICHARD MANUELL (Kensington, United Kingdom)
Price point

Based on one bottle so far consumed, pleasant enough and fair value for the (reduced) price but not to be confused with a £30 Rioja, proving yet again that with wine you almost always get what you pay for.

SIGLO 2001 RIOJA

Bought this for my wife, who absolutely loves Rioja.
Real enjoying the wine, smooth,fruit and no headaches.
Don't agree with negative reviews, great wine for £11 a bottle.

OK rioja

Tried a couple of these and wasn't too impressed.
It was OK, but I wouldn't buy this year again.

No wonder it was reduced from £30 to £11.
