What it tastes like.

Familia Larchago is a small family producer in Rioja Alavesa, the northern, cooler half of the famous Spanish region, where vineyards sit on chalky-clay soils at higher altitude. This bottling is 100% Tempranillo — a young, unwooded-leaning expression of Spain's most important red grape, made for early drinking and weekday meals rather than long ageing.

The 2022 vintage was warm but well-balanced in Rioja. Expect an intense cherry-red colour with a purple rim that signals its youth, and a fresh, expressive nose of ripe red berry, plum and a touch of spice from the small portion of oak. The palate is complex and fruity, well-balanced, with toasted notes on a clean, persistent close.

Pair with grilled chicken, charcuterie boards, tomato-based pasta or paella. A reliable, well-priced expression of pure Tempranillo. 100% Tempranillo.

Bottle questions

Before you open it.

A few practical answers for storage, delivery, and choosing the right bottle.

How should I store it before opening?

Keep it somewhere cool, dark, and steady. Wine prefers cellar temperature; spirits are happier away from heat and direct sunlight.

How long will it keep once opened?

Wine changes quickly after opening; spirits and liqueurs generally hold longer if capped tightly and kept out of heat. If it is a special bottle, ask before opening and the team can give product-specific guidance.

Can I ask for a similar bottle?

Yes. Contact Caravan with this bottle name and the occasion; the team can suggest a close match, a safer gift, or a step up or down in price.

How is it packed for delivery?

Orders are packed in bottle-safe cartons. If anything arrives damaged or looks wrong, contact the team with your order number and a photo so they can sort the next step.

What about hot weather shipping?

The team avoids making one-size-fits-all promises around heat and carrier timing. For heat-sensitive or cellar bottles, contact Caravan before ordering and they can advise the safest dispatch window.

Why Caravan backs Familia Chávarri (Larchago)

Rioja Alavesa

"Francisco Chávarri founded the winery in 1882 in Lapuebla de Labarca, on the Álava (Basque) side of the Ebro river that bounds the Rioja DOCa. The family registered as the first commercial bottler in Rioja Alavesa, the sub-zone known for fresher, structured Tempranillos compared with the heavier styles further south.
