Oxer "Kalamity" Tinto DO Rioja 2022
Named for a Shakespeare quote and blended from two century-old vineyards, Kalamity is Oxer's boldest, longest-ageing red.
Grape Varietals & Region: 48% Tempranillo, 48% Garnacha, 2% Viura and 2% Garnacha Blanca, sourced from two plots: a 3-hectare vineyard in Cárdenas (Rioja Alta) planted in 1903 on iron-rich clay at 580m, and a 1-hectare, 101-year-old vineyard in Elvillar (Rioja Alavesa) on calcareous clay at 600m — old vines from both of Rioja's cooler, higher subzones.
Taste Profile: Bold and long, with soft black forest fruit, animal notes, violet florals and spice on the nose. The full-bodied palate delivers black cherry, blackberry and raspberry before revealing a mineral backbone and hints of pink pepper. Built to keep developing — hold to 2030 and beyond.
Winemaking Process: Grapes are selected plot by plot and vinified separately in open vats, barrels and concrete eggs using only indigenous yeasts, then aged 12 months in 500-litre French oak barrels and foudre.
Winemaker: Oxer Bastegieta got into wine almost by accident in 1999, when his father asked him to make a txakoli for the family restaurant in Kortezubi, Bizkaia. A master's in viticulture and oenology in Laguardia introduced him to Rioja Alavesa, and he moved there in 2009, buying his first old-vine plot the following year. Without family winemaking heritage behind him, he's since built an estate spanning Basque Txakoli and Rioja across 16 small plots, of which Kalamity — named and labelled after his love of Shakespeare — is the most ambitious.
