Tasting Note
Red cherry in colour with a brick tinge, an expressive nose reveals sweet cherry fruit with vanilla spice, complemented by a lifted perfume of wild strawberry and red roses, courtesy of the Garnacha. Immediately supple in texture, there’s a warming richness across the palate, which is laden with intense flavours of mulberry, damson, and coffee bean - owing to the generosity of the vintage. The tannins are present but ripe with a slight flintiness. A rasping cherry acidity maintains the composure of this alluring Rioja, emerging with savoury characteristics of cured meat and Asian spices towards the finish.
What does this wine tast like?
La Rioja Alta
On July 10, 1890, five Basque and Rioja-based vine growers created "Sociedad Vinicola De La Rioja Alta" in what is known as the Haro Station District. This was the beginning of a fascinating business venture in which the only dream of the five founders was to craft and age high quality wines. The European spirit which is so popular today was present in La Rioja and in the winery from the very beginning. The company continues to defend the initial idea from back in 1890, which is still present in the wineries, fostering the creative and entrepreneurial spirit of the founders, enormous respect for its history and the original philosophy.
