Description
The Sierra Cantabria Reserva wine is made in the denomination of origin of La Rioja, more specifically in Fuente de La Salud, in San Vicente de la Sonsierra. This red wine is the result of a deep-rooted family tradition, in a home that has been dedicated to wine production since 1870.
The chalky clay soil in which the vines grow provides the necessary conditions for the fruit to develop just the right amount of tannins, ideal for a full-bodied, full-flavoured red wine. The result is simply incredible.
Winemaking
The first step to follow includes harvesting and destemming, which are carried out by hand, selecting the best fruit. In this process, large quantities of the tempranillo variety are harvested to extract the must, which then undergoes a ten-day fermentation process with the region's own yeasts.
After this first procedure, the must undergoes a maceration with the skins that lasts approximately eleven more days. Finally, this wine is aged in French and American oak barrels until the malolactic fermentation process is completed. After 18 months it is ready for bottling.
Taste
Its olfactory note is reminiscent of spices and vanilla notes, with light warm and intense nuances. On the palate, its flavour is reminiscent of ripe forest fruits and balsamic and vanilla flavour accents.
An eco-friendly bet
Each of the vineyards in which the grapes are harvested are worked exclusively using integrated agriculture. In addition, the fertiliser used is completely organic, so you don't have to worry about the content of chemicals or pesticides.
It is ideal to accompany game, red meats and mature cheeses.
