2022 Luberri 'Florus' Rioja, Spain Markus Altenburger A blend of older parcelsFlorus is a radically new natural wine from Luberri, inspired by a reclamation of the traditional winemaking in Rioja Alavesa prior to the French influence on the region in the late 19th century.

Florus is produced from Matagallina, a single over 60 year old estate vineyard
