CVNE Vina Real Gran Reserva Rioja 2015

Profile:

Maroon color with nuances of cherry and hugh color layer. Very elegant and intense on nose with spicy notes, aromas of cocoa, vanilla and fine wood in which we appreciate a nice touch of ripe fruit in the aftertaste. A very wide wine in the mouth with a great structure and potential. It is noticed a noble and structured tannin. It is a complex, great wine, long in the mouth. It will evolve very positively in the bottle, having a long life ahead.

Food Pairing: Beef, Lamb, Veal, Poultry

How It Was Made:

Made from high quality, hand harvested grapes from our best plots in Rioja Alavesa. Fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures between 28 °C -30°C, where frequent "delestages" take place in order to achieve careful extraction of tannins and colour. The wine was then aged for a minimum of 24 months in new and 1 year used French and American oak barrels, where it is racked manually every 4 months during the first year and spacing the frequency the second year. Before bottling, the wine is clarified to obtain greater cleanliness, silkiness and shine. In bottle the wine achieves the roundness necessary during a minimum period of 3 years. The wine will reach its fullest potential many years later.
