Description
Vega Crianza Rioja, Spain, 2020
Grapes: 77% Tempranillo, 20% Graciano, & 3% Mazuelo, 20 year old vines, 12 months' ageing in American oak.
Intense, cherry-red colour. On the nose, there are notes of ripe fruit (blackcurrants and cherries) which are well integrated with toasted aromas of cinnamon, caramelised toffee and butter. On the palate, this is a velvety wine with good structure and good fruit levels. High quality tannins abound.
"Spicy, cranberry and red cherry nose. Rounded in the mouth with subtle oak and blackcurrant characters. Medium-plus finish."
88/100 points, Decanter World Wine Awards, January 2023
Wine Makers Notes: Alcoholic fermentation for 6 days, following by skin contact maceration for 5 days. Fermentation was carried out at 28ºC with malolactic in stainless steel tanks. 12 months in American oak with 2 rackings followed by a minimum of 6 months in bottle until going on sale.
Great with grilled red meats, veal and vegetables.
