Description
Finca Torrea, a name that resonates in the heart of Rioja Alavesa, represents the art and innovation of the Marqués de Riscal house, founded in 1858 and renowned for pioneering Bordeaux methods in Spain. This wine is the result of a careful selection of Tempranillo and Graciano, two varieties that balance each other masterfully. The estate from which these grapes come is located in the municipality of Elciego, in the mythical "City of Wine", and is characterised by its clay-limestone soil and a climate with Atlantic and Mediterranean influences, which guarantees optimum development of the vines.
Winemaking
The Finca Torrea winemaking process is carried out with a modern approach, with fermentation in Allier wood vats and a rigorous manual grape selection process. Fermentation is carried out at controlled temperatures that do not exceed 25 ºC, followed by gentle pumping over and a short maceration to preserve the wine's fruity elegance. Ageing for 18 months in French Allier oak barrels adds complexity and a subtle balsamic touch, and before release, the wine is refined in the bottle, achieving a refined and contemporary character.
Taste
Finca Torrea presents itself in the glass with an intense and lively cherry red colour. On approaching the nose, one perceives an explosion of ripe red and black fruit aromas, accompanied by balsamic hints and touches of oak that evoke barrel ageing. On the palate, it is surprisingly fresh and structured, with a touch of marked acidity that balances the power of its tannins. This wine manages to maintain a balance between power and elegance, standing out for its long finish, with nuances of fine bitterness that invite a second glass. It is a wine that, although modern, respects the legacy of tradition and the terroir of Marqués de Riscal, offering a sophisticated but accessible experience for those who are looking for a Rioja with a unique and avant-garde character.
