Tasting note
Elegant, sophisticated Rioja, packed with blackberries and scented with cedar, leather and spice.
Viticulture
The 2011 growth cycle, although with some drought areas, had a very favourable weather which allowed for optimum vegetative and sanitary conditions until the end of the cycle. The limited vineyard production for this vintage has made it possible for this year to be classified as one of the best three in the last 30 years.
Vinification
Only the right blending is appropriate to age for a long period in oak cask in order to gain longevity with a slow and fulfililling evolution in the bottle. 20 months of ageing in American oak casks a lot of which is 2nd or 3rd fill to allow the fruit to talk.
Food Match
This wine pairs perfectly with international cuisine (curried dishes and spicy dishes) or traditional food such as red meats, game and mature cheeses.
