MAESTRESALA RIOJA "AUTHOR SIGNATURE" SELECTED VINTAGE, RIOJA ALAVESA, 2019
Description
Maestresala Selected Vintage is the winery's signature wine. The harvest of the grapes (Tempranillo and Viura) was carried out manually in vineyards over 70 years old. It is a wine made with a carbonic maceration process. Subsequently, it goes to French and American oak barrels, where it will remain for 12 months and another 6 months in the bottle. It is a unique wine from the municipality of Villabuena de Álava with a very tannic profile but endowed with a mature and friendly tannin that will surprise the most curious.
Tasting Note
- Appearance: Bright scarlet red colour.
- Nose: Intense, with the presence of dairy, red fruits, as well as strawberry and raspberry. Forest fruits, such as blackberries. Wood is what gives it structure.
- Palate: Dry, structured, tannic, but endowed with a mature and friendly tannin, perfectly balanced with an enormous unctuousness.
