Description
La Vicalanda Reserva is a pioneering wine of the high expression wines of the D.O. Rioja, produced by Bodegas Bilbaínas, one of the most traditional wineries in Haro, Rioja Alta. This wine is the result of a careful selection of the best Tempranillo grapes (100%) from our own vineyards, located in plots such as Cuervo 4, Vicuana and Zaco. The vineyards, which are over 35 years old, are cultivated using sustainable viticulture methods, without pesticides, insecticides or herbicides, and are planted in the traditional "goblet" system. The soil of these vineyards contributes to the character of the wine, which reflects theterroir of one of the most privileged areas of the region.
Winemaking
As for the elaboration of La Vicalanda Reserva, the grapes are harvested by hand in small boxes of 15 kg, ensuring a first selection in the vineyard. Then, the grapes are cooled at 4ºC for 24 hours before an additional manual selection. After a cold maceration, alcoholic fermentation takes place for 10 days at 28ºC, followed by an extended maceration of 2 weeks. Malolactic fermentation takes place in French oak barrels, as does the ageing process, which lasts 14 months. After this process, the wine remains in the bottle for a minimum of 24 months to complete its evolution.
Taste
La Vicalanda Reserva has an intense garnet colour with purple tones. On the nose, it stands out for its elegance and intensity, with deep aromas that combine black fruits, violets and roasted notes, all over a balsamic and mineral background. On the palate, it is a fleshy, powerful and well-structured wine, with a velvety entry and a very balanced passage through the mouth. Its great body and persistence make it an ideal wine to enjoy with dishes such as roast lamb, cured cheeses or game meats.
