Alba de Luces

Alba de Luces - Reserva Rioja DOCa.

Designation: DOC Rioja

Grape varieties: Tempranillo 100%

Vineyard: The grapes are harvested from plots located at an altitude of between 500 and 700 metres. The vineyards have the perfect balance to harvest the grapes at their optimum ripeness. The low yields per hectare allow us to obtain a concentrated and aromatic wine.

Winemaking: Very selected grapes, destemmed and partially crushed, with a high percentage of whole berries, with a maceration time of 10-15 days, with daily pumping over. Controlled fermentation at 24-28ºC. Autochthonous yeasts contained in the grapes themselves. Two years in American oak barrels with medium toasting, which gives it complexity and spicy notes. After this time, it remains in the bottle, gaining in stability and complexity.

Soil type: Limestone

Origin: Spain

Sensory characteristics: Colour: It has a very bright ruby red colour.

Nose: On the nose it is intense and ripe with a high presence of fruity notes that combine well with the sweet and vanilla oak notes of the American oak.

Palate: Full, silky and balanced flavour, with a certain complexity and great persistence in the mouth, round tannins.

Recommendations: Ideal with mature cheese or red meat.

Serving temperature in °: To be enjoyed between 14 and 18°C

Alcohol %: 13.5
