Oxer Kuusu 2022 is a red wine produced by Oxer Bastegieta under his Oxer Wines project, where the winemaker explores vineyards beyond his usual Rioja region. This wine comes from a small century-old vineyard located in Castilla y León , where sandy soils rich in quartz provide tension, minerality and freshness.

It is made mainly from Tinta de Toro , complemented by a small proportion of Albillo Mayor , a traditional white variety often found in old vineyards. Fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts in oak vats, followed by around 10 months of ageing in used French oak barrels and foudres , aiming to preserve fruit purity and vineyard expression.

On the nose it reveals aromas of black fruit, violet and mineral notes , showing a floral elegance rarely seen in wines from this region. The palate is juicy, silky and well balanced , with fine tannins and a long finish combining freshness, depth and mineral character. A limited-production wine that reflects Oxer Bastegieta’s precise and distinctive style.
