Winemaker Notes
Medium-high intensity, blue and violet tones. Abundant and dense leg. High intensity, with precise Rioja Tempranillo character, the black berries and red berries (cassis, blackberry and raspberry) showing up, mixed up with milky aromas and light recall of cream candy. Very smooth attack in the mouth, with round development showing a big glyceric load that allows a very long final.
Specially indicated for jam tapas, sobrasada (chorizo paste), patés and cheese fondues. Very adequated for white meats and fishes in sauce.
Hailed as the star red variety in Spain’s most celebrated wine region, Tempranillo from Rioja, or simply labeled, “Rioja,” produces elegant wines with complex notes of red and black fruit, crushed rock, leather, toast and tobacco, whose best examples are fully capable of decades of improvement in the cellar.
Rioja wines are typically a blend of fruit from its three sub-regions: Rioja Alta, Rioja Alavesa and Rioja Oriental, although specific sub-region (zonas), village (municipios) and vineyard (viñedo singular) wines can now be labeled. Rioja Alta and Alavesa, at the highest elevations, are considered to be the source of the brightest, most elegant fruit, while grapes from the warmer and drier, Rioja Oriental, produce wines with deep color, great body and richness.
