Rioja blends of Tempranillo, Garnacha, and Viura from Spain.

José Gil produces wine in Rioja, Spain's most celebrated red wine region. The winery's flagship blend, Viñedos en San Vicente de la Sonsierra, combines Tempranillo with Garnacha and Viura—a composition that reflects Rioja's traditional approach to complexity and balance. Tempranillo forms the backbone of serious Rioja wines, delivering structure and aging potential, while Garnacha adds warmth and texture. The inclusion of Viura, a white grape, suggests a nuanced winemaking philosophy that values freshness and aromatic lift alongside the region's signature dark fruit character. Decanter has rated this wine at 91.8 points, placing it among the region's notable expressions.
