PAGO DE VALCALIENTE RESERVA 2015 (100% Organic Wine) | RIOJA

Vineyard:

Own vineyards, certificate of organic production comprising both growing and vinification procedures.

It's always wine o'clock! In order to obtain good wine, it is necessary to have good raw materials, that’s why we put our trust in our vineyards and take care of them with love. We are at the heart of Rioja Baja, fields with different types of soil and characteristics, such as La Plana de Turrás and Valcaliente, which give us different conditions. Our fields are unique places, located at 400 and 600 meters of altitude, where we grow white and red varieties. 65 hectares of bio-dynamic production, treated with care to get quality grapes. Our Reserva is a clean wine with great aromatic intensity. Red and black fruit and light tannins; smoked and spicy touches due to its aging in French barrels. When the glass is swirled, the wine opens, generating different sensations. Balanced, powerful and with perfect acidity. Sweet, enveloping and perfectly polished tannins. After tasting it, it leaves a long memory, with good persistence, appearing aromas of ripe fruit, spices and roasts. This wine has undergone a barrel aging process for 18 months and then, another 18 months in bottle. Enjoy the Burgundy lifestyle!

Well-balanced, powerful wine with nice acidity. Presence of sweet, embracing and perfectly polished tannins. This wine is round and caresses the palate with soft and silky sensations.
