Gil Family Estates Biloba de Vera Rioja 2021 (Spain)

Description

Blueberry, Oak, Spice

"The 2021 Biloba de Vera is a village wine from Laguardia, a more modern, powerful and concentrated red that keeps the balance and freshness. It matured in French oak barrels for 15 months, and they are introducing 500- and 600-liter barrels here to complement the 225-liter used ones. This is harmonious, elegant and balanced, seamless and integrated. It has Rioja typicity, and the oak is neatly integrated and folded into the fruit. This is a wine that will not be produced every year" Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate

Attractive cherry red color and high layer wine. Fine hints of black plum, blueberries and raspberries, nutmeg, scrub and balsamic notes. Juicy, with vibrant acidity, enveloping and smooth passage through mouth, balanced and persistent in retro nasal.

From our plots of Tempranillo grape variety, located in the town of Laguardia, we select those who stand out due to their potential and high concentration. The vinification is carried out in small stainlesssteel tanks at a controlled temperature then moved on french oak barrels for 15 months, resulting in an up-to-date wine where wood does not stick out on fruit thus achieving a ground-breaking wine in Rioja Alavesa.
