Description

Bright cherry-red in the glass with intense aromas. Showcasing fresh, ripe, red fruit, with spicy and liquorice notes, accompanied by elegant toasty and smoky hints. Fresh and sweet in the mouth, with a very well-balanced, persistent and elegant mouthfeel.

The art featured on the bottle is inspired in an original eighteenth-century bottle that is on exhibit at the Vivanco Museum of the Culture of Wine.

This delicious Spanish Rijoa blend sees the folowing grapes included: 95% Tempranillo, 2% Maturana Tinta, Graciano 3%. These were grown on a selection of vines in Briones, Rioja Alta which are 15–20 years old on average, grown in mainly ferrous-clay soils. These were then hand picked  in early October, with all the grapes being placed in a cold room for 36 hours before being processed on the sorting table. After mild crushing, the grapes are fed by gravity into small French oak vats where they ferment and are left to macerate for 20 days in contact with the skins at a controlled temperature of 28 °C with light pumpovers. Maturation took plave in small French oak vverats. Aged for 16 months in French and American oak barrels, with periodic rackings, followed by at least 6 months in the bottle-ageing hall.

Food Pairing: The perfect companion to Mediterranean cuisine, rice dishes, pulses, pasta and all kinds of white and red meats.
