Martinez Lacuesta 'Colección Familia' Rioja 2012

Tempranillo 75%, Graciano 20% y Mazuelo 5%.

Colección Familia comes from vineyards located in the municipality of Haro and its Haro and its surroundings and planted more than 40 years ago. The altitude ranges between 430m and 500m above sea level, in an area where the predominant soil is clay-limestone.  After destemming, alcoholic fermentation takes place in oak vats. Malolactic fermentation started spontaneously and lasted 90 days. In the spring of 2014 the wine began its ageing in American oak barrels of third use. During the 36 months in oak barrels, we carried out 6 manual gravity rackings.  

Bright and attractive garnet colour, of medium intensity. Very aromatic, with a perfume of black fruits, spicy and balsamic. Tertiary aromas of roasted coffee and dry flowers. Fresh, clean and balanced on the palate. Rich texture and complexity of flavours with silky tannin and a lingering finish.  13.5% ABV
