Winemaker Notes
Red wine with a deep cherry red color, with intense and elegant aromas of ripe red fruits and many spicy notes. In the mouth it showcases a large number of flavors, with a long journey and a deep and friendly finish. It presents some sensory characters that reflect very well its microclimate within the northernmost area of La Rioja and genuine of its origin.
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.
