A brand new selection for the store and it is beautiful! This noble wine from the Torres family is made with 100% Tempranillo primarily sourced from the Rioja Alavesa region. 2017 was a challenging vintage and was marked by spring frost causing a 25% reduction in yield with further complications of drought, and extreme temperatures during the growing season. Through perseverance and hard work, the grapes were harvested at optimal ripeness and with an ideal balance between alcohol and phenolic maturation. After fermentation, this Crianza sees 12 months in French and partly new American oak plus a further 12 months aging in the bottle before release. Dark cherry red in color, very opaque. Intense and fragrant, with exquisite rosepetal, wild ripe strawberries, raspberry, and raspberry jam notes. There are tertiary aromas of spicy green peppercorn, as well as a subtle spicy and smoky hint that shows the influence of the oak aging. Generous on the palate, with a slight fruit-forward capacity of plum and dark cherry, pepper, and toasty vanilla mingle on the palate in this modernly-styled wine with velvety, fine-grained tannins on the finish. This wine really shines when accompanying a meal. It pairs particularly well with grilled pork tenderloin, lamb chops, or burgers. A fantastic option for a range of classic Spanish tapas especially those using red meat or oil-rich fish, as well as a variety of hard and semi-hard cheeses, plus all kinds of cured meat and sausages. |
