Sonsierra | Crianza Selected Harvest

VINTAGE | 2011

REGION | Rioja

VARIETIES | Tempranillo

VINIFICATION AND AGING | Vines that are over 30 years old, from the foothills of the Sierra de Cantabria; harvested by hand. 12 months in 70% new American and 30% second year French oak barrels. Minimum of 1 year resting in the bottle for refinement.

TASTING NOTES | This is an elegant yet original wine that has an intensely bright cherry color with a maroon sheen. Powerful on the nose, with aromas of ripe red fruits perfectly matched with vanilla, cream, light toasted and mineral overtones which give it a great complexity. It gradually unveils as it airs in the glass. Its palate is intense yet elegant; the ripe tannins stand out alongside its breadth and roundness, leaving a lengthy, pleasant aftertaste.

PAIRING | This creamy and toasty Crianza pairs very well with white and red grilled meat, pates, blue cheese and rice dishes.
