Beaverdale Rioja
The Rioja valley in Spain produces excellent red wines. About a dozen different varieties of grapes go into the making of Rioja wines. All commercially produced Riojas will spend a year in fermenting tanks. The Sin Crianzas are then released with no further ageing, whereas the Gran Reservas are further aged for between six and eight years in both barrels & bottles.
Richard Blackwell (the owner of Wineworks) saw a gap in the market in the late 80's for a really good quality wine kit, and launched a range called The House of Beaverdale. Throughout the next 15 years he developed this range with improvements in quality, varieties and packaging, to solidify its position as the best selling quality wine kit in the UK.
