Solagüen Rioja Red

100% Tempranillo. The de-stemmed grapes undergo a cold pre-fermentation maceration for 36 hours at 6º C to optimize theextraction of aromatic elements present in the skins. The must isthen fermented at 26ºC and macerated for a total of 14 days. Afterbeing racked, the wine undergoes malolactic fermentationspontaneously after one month. Finally, the wine is placed inconcrete deposits to help the decanting process, whereupon it isready for filtering and bottling.

  • Colour: An intensely layered centre with mauve tones near theedges. Lively, clean and layered.

  • Nose: Clean aromas characteristic of a young Tempranillo wine;aromas of wild fruits (blackberries, raspberries and sloes). Floralnotes and a slight nuttiness on the finish.

  • Palate: Shows a certain amount of character on the fore palate,although its acidity is offset by the warm, liqueur-like feel. On thefinish, it is pleasant and a little treacly, and at the very end satin-like.The varietal character is noticeable once more.

  • Food pairing: This wine goes well with all kinds of Spanish tapas andchorizo-based dishes.
