Locos por el Vino was born from the partnership of Miguel Sanmartín and Sergio Chueca, with the technical collaboration of Chris Ringland, and since 2014 it has been dedicated to crafting honest wines that tell stories. Their philosophy blends experience and freshness: locating high-quality vineyards, minimal intervention, and letting the land speak. With this approach, the tempranillo Locos del Vino Rioja Crianza 2022 is crafted, a sincere and appealing red wine distinguished by its notes of red fruit compote, green pepper, and toasted bread, with soft tannins and a silky aftertaste.
Locos del Vino Rioja Crianza 2022 is a red wine from Torres Essentials made from Tempranillo, with a winemaking process focused on enhancing the varietal's qualities and achieving complexity: maceration and barrel aging contributed structure and nuances, integrating notes of toasted bread, vanilla, cocoa, and spices with ripe red fruit. The result is a well-rounded Crianza, with a silky texture and a long, elegant finish that retains fruity and balsamic hints.
Locos por el Vino is a project led by Miguel Sanmartín and Sergio Chueca, with technical collaboration from Chris Ringland, initiated in 2014 as an independent venture that seeks to harmonize tradition and innovation. The winery selects vineyards to allow them to express themselves freely, following a philosophy of minimal intervention. This vision of respect for the terroir and winemaking creativity is reflected in the personality of this Crianza, protected under the D.O.Ca. Rioja.

Creators' opinion
Locos del Vino Tempranillo Rioja Crianza 2022 is a cherry red wine with garnet hues, clean and bright. It offers aromas of very ripe raspberry compote and other red fruits -cherry and plum-, with a subtle spicy touch of green pepper intertwined with notes of toasted bread, vanilla, roasted hints, cocoa, and soft spices from barrel aging. Warm and silky on entry, with very juicy and smooth tannins leading to a long, smooth, and elegant finish, with fruity and balsamic notes.
In the gentle undulations of Rioja, where the wind whispers secrets to the vineyards, the Mago de los Guardaviñas weaves his spell. With roots as allies and birds as messengers, his madness lies in believing he can bend nature to his will. This wine is his enchantment: aromas of raspberry compote, green pepper, and toasted bread. On the palate, soft tannins and a silky finish evoke pure elegance.
