Description
Rayos Uva is an entry level wine. Its cost is not very high, so it is the perfect piece to get to know the winemaking style of these wineries. It comes from La Rioja Oriental, specifically from Aldeanueva de Ebro. The wine incorporates a tasty, smooth and light structure, which means that it is quite pleasant.
The vineyards are cultivated at a considerable altitude, at least 650 metres above sea level, and the soils are calcareous-sandy. These factors give it power and a lot of freshness.
Winemaking
Its process includes Garnacha 50%, Tempranillo 25% and Graciano25%, a coupage that has been modified with respect to other vintages. Of course, its fruity and delicious character is maintained, although the Graciano stands out.
The grapes are destemmed and cold macerated, and aged for 5 months in steel tanks, concrete tanks and on well-worked lees.
Taste
Rayos Uva stands out for its varied notes, freshness, pungency and fruit character. It is a strong wine, with an elongated finish; the graciano is the protagonist of its flavour, which gives it a rather complex aroma, a wine suitable for a casual occasion!
A very refined entry-level wine
Once you uncork it, you notice its essence endowed with special touches given by excellent grapes, grown without chemical fertilisers. The result is tasty, pure, interesting and enjoyable to drink. Therefore, it can be said that it is a wine that will fascinate the followers of an acid and fresh wine.
And you, what are you waiting for to try it?
