Crianza 2019
12,50€ IVA incluido
To make this wine we have chosen two vineyards of Rioja Alavesa with with a common characteristic: their altitude. The vineyard to the West is 580 meters high and has a calcareous clay soil. It is located in Salinillas de Buradón, opposite to the Riscos de Bilibio, where the hermit San Felices lived in the 5th Century. The Eastern vineyard, with almost 700 meters high, is located in Cripán, on the slopes of the “Sleeping Lion”. It is part of the Sierra Cantabria, a great natural barrier that protects Rioja Alavesa from the cold and Northern clouds. The vineyard is South facing, with very poor calcareous clay soil, and is characterized by its strong winds.
Nose: Great fruity expressiveness, marked at first by ripe black fruit, blackberries, blueberries – and floral tones – violet -. When opened, fresher and red fruits appear, such as ripe plums and raspberries. It stands out for its great aromatic compexity, enriched by minerals typical og the terroir (iron, graphite), and the influence of long aging, appearing undergrowth, spices, and sweet aromas such as caramel, vanilla or gingerbread.
Mouth: Fresh and balanced. Creamy and with volume. With the right structure to invite the next drink, and with a long aftertaste, fatihful to what we perceive on the nose. Fine and elegant.
