Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

I really liked the seriousness, restraint and balance of the 2017 Finca la Emperatriz Gran Vino Tinto, a blend of 76% Tempranillo, 22% Garnacha and 2% white Viura. It combines ripeness and power with elegance and subtleness. The wine feels too young, especially in the palate, with some tannins still to be resolved by some more time in bottle. It's medium to full-bodied and has a dry, serious and long finish. This should evolve toward a quite classical expression of Rioja. 37,950 bottles and some larger formats produced. It was bottled in July 2019.

Features

Description

The Gran Vino Tinto de Finca la Emperatriz is made from Tempranillo, Garnacha and Viura grapes. Using the blending technique, the Hernáiz brothers select only the best grapes from vineyards recognised as singular vineyards. The result is a unique wine that combines tradition and high quality in the same bottle.
The winery is located in the municipality of Baños de La Rioja, and it is protected by the appellation of origin of the same name. The soil is undoubtedly one of the most favourable in the area, as it is composed of pebbles and sandstone. At first glance, it may appear to be a poor soil, but it is perfect for the grapes to develop all their characteristics to the maximum.

Winemaking

The grapes are harvested by hand and the three grape varieties are harvested at similar times. Afterwards they undergo a period of cold maceration while the fermentation process takes place in concrete tanks. Indigenous yeasts are used in the process. Malolactic fermentation takes place in barrels.
The last part of the process includes the ageing period in French and American oak barrels for a period of 18 months, in order to perfect the flavours.

Taste

Its aroma is clean, penetrating and fresh, while its flavour is balanced, with a good load of tannins and a long and powerful finish. It stands out for its balsamic accents and spicy nuances that give it a characteristic aftertaste.

A red wine that will leave you wanting more.

If you are looking for a wine that is the perfect combination of good taste and quality, then this is the perfect choice for you. Its delicate bouquet and balanced acidity are perfect for all lovers of refined and tasteful reds.
In the gastronomic field, it is perfect for pairing hams, red meats and stews with red sauces.
