About the wine:
This wine comes from the region of Rioja Alavesa, which is within the large wine-growing region of Rioja. Carbonic Maceration is a traditional winemaking technique used in this area. Carbonic Maceration is where whole bunches are put into a sealed tank full of carbon dioxide and then allowed to ferment. Rather than yeast starting the alcoholic fermentation, the grapes start fermenting from the inside out, using the carbon dioxide to aid this process. It allows red wines to be made in a way that boosts the fruitiness and soft tannins. This wine was made using 100% Tempranillo grapes, which results in a wine with plenty of character and personality. Fresh and light-bodied, with overflowing fruit and flavour.
This wine has great aromatic intensity with classic aromas of fresh strawberries, blackberries, wild berries and floral notes. On the palate there is marked sweet berry flavours with grippy tannins leading to a long and fruity finish. A light bodied red wine with fruity freshness, this is a wine that wants drinking now, would suit tapas or a charcuterie.
