Wine Advocate (94+)
I found a very complete 2015 Finca Martelo that followed the style and the quality path of the previous vintages. The release of this wine was an important milestone for Torre de Oña, where they look for the typicity of Rioja Alavesa through a blend of old-vine Tempranillo with 6% other varieties (Mazuelo, Garnacha and even white Viura). 2015 was a healthy harvest, and the wine shows a nice combination of power and elegance. It's clean and modern but with a traditional twist, some developed aromas and very fine chalky tannins from the limestone-rich soils. 80,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in January 2019.Inc.

The 2016 Finca Martelo comes from one of the longest harvests in their history. It's a blend of Tempranillo with 6% other varieties, Mazuelo, Garnacha and even white Viura intermixed in the field with a south-facing slope on very white soils. The grapes were hand picked, destemmed and crushed, then put through a seven-day cold soak before fermenting (uncrushed) in stainless steel followed by malolactic that took 98 days. The wine matured in used oak barrels, 80% American and 20% French, for 24 months with four traditional rackings. This wine has a separate winery with smaller vats for each of the plots, and the wine was kept in vat for a further six months before it was bottled in June 2020. It has 14.5% alcohol and a pH of 3.57. It has a lively and young color and a very expressive nose (the cold soak and the semi-carbonic maceration), and there is a strong spiciness despite the fact they never use any new oak. It's mellow and round, with glossy tannins and a very gentle mouthfeel, with good complexity and those chalky tannins. This is a young and more modern wine than the range from la Rioja Alta. This is a wine that was developed between 2005 and 2012, and they saw the mix of barrels worked better than a single origin. 80,000 bottles produced.Inc. GSTSG$710.05 -
(6x75cl) 2019Experience the grandeur of Spanish viticulture with the Torre de Ona Rioja Martelo 2019. From the venerable wine cellars of La Rioja Alta, this prestigious wine embodies the quintessential characteristics of its region. Born from an elaborate mix of Tempranillo, Mazuelo, Garnacha and Viura grapes, the Martelo brims with a flourish of red fruit flavours, tobacco, and vanilla notes. The meticulously-tended vineyards yield perfectly ripened grapes, after which they are fermented in conical French oak vats, enhancing the wine's robustness and complexity. The vino then matures in barrels for a span of 24 months, acquiring an elegant toasted oak undertone. The Torre de Ona Rioja Martelo 2019 is a celebration of fine wine craftsmanship and a testament to La Rioja Alta’s devotion to nurturing select parcels for exceptional quality. Enjoy a bottle of Torre de Ona Rioja Martelo 2019 and succumb to a beguiling journey of remarkable Spanish winemaking.
