Description
Kuusu is a crianza red wine made with the Tinta de Toro and Albillo Mayor varieties by Oxer Bastegieta in the Castilla y León region under the Vino de España appellation.
The grapes come from a centenary vineyard planted in 1920 of 0.9 hectares located at an altitude of 600 metres above sea level on a soil with a background consisting of sand and a lot of quartz.
Winemaking
The grapes are harvested by hand selecting the best grapes from the centenary vineyard of the property. In the winery, alcoholic fermentation begins with indigenous yeasts in 1,000-litre French oak vats and in 500-litre open French oak barrels.
Malolactic fermentation and ageing takes place in French oak barrels where it ages for 12 months.
Taste
Kuusu is a powerful and very elegant red wine. With complex, concentrated, very fine, almost velvety tannins and a balanced acidity.
A unique, mature and elegant wine
Kuusu is a wine made with the minimum intervention in the cellar, so that the wine faithfully expresses the terroir.
Oxer Bastegieta is a first class producer based in Rioja Alavesa. He is a very talented winemaker and the hallmark of his wines is their freshness and elegance.
In the gastronomic field, it is a wine especially recommended for business lunches and as an accompaniment to red meats.
