Tasting notes

Look

Cherry red with violet edges well covered

Smell

Nose of good intensity and very complex with hints of ripe plum and spicy and balsamic tones. Aromas side toasted very suggestive with a wide range of cocoas, mokka and roasted.

Taste

Very good structure on the palate with ripe tannins well balanced. Boca copious and very tasty. Fantastic harmony between acidity and alcoholic strength.

Description of Sierra Cantabria Cuvee

Sierra Cantabria Cuvee 2016 is a Rioja wine produced by the Eguren family, within the framework of the Viñedos Sierra Cantabria winery. Tempranillo from the Finca La Llana, with more than 30 years old, on heterogeneous soils of sand, gravel and pebbles.Once destemmed, it ferments at a controlled temperature and undergoes malolactic fermentation in barrels. It is refined during 12 months in French and American oak barrels, 40% of which are new. A fluid tempranillo despite its aging to share on any table. A very direct wine with an intense nose of plums and ripe red fruit accompanied by elegant toasting.
