Description
Vega del Rayo Vendimia Seleccionada Rioja, La Rioja, Spain, 2022
Grape: 100% Tempranillo, oak aged
Producer Tasting Note:
Ripe plum and cherry on the nose, the palate is smooth with black fruit flavours and some gentle oak spice. Medium-bodied and approachable.
Winemaking: The fruit is harvested throughout September and early October from vineyards from across Rioja. Vines on average 15-20 years old. Fermentation in stainless steel tanks at 25-30° C with twice daily pumpovers. After 12 days fermentation on the skins the wine is gently pressed and racked to stainless steel tanks for malolactic fermentation. The wine is then racked to a mixture of American and French oak barrels for 6-8 months maturation.
Food Match: Perfect with a smoky barbequed steak with patatas bravas (spicy tapas potatoes), or a chunk of Manchego cheese
