Finca Nueva Crianza Tempranillo Red Wine, 750 Ml

Finca Nueva Crianza is a 100% tempranillo from the DOCa Rioja. The vines are tightly spaced and organically fertilized. During harvest, grapes are destemmed and left uncrushed before being placed in stainless steel tanks for a cold, prefermentary maceration at 10-11°C, over 6-8 days. After this time, fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at 28°C during 18 days with regular pump-overs. Maceration on the skins is performed during 14-18 consecutive days, after which time the finished wine is drained from its tanks via gravity and then pressed using a traditional vertical press. Malolactic fermentation is performed in tank and the resulting wine is aged for 12 months in French and American oak barrels that are racked every 4 months. After oak aging, the wine is left unfined before it is aged extensively in bottle in underground metal cages before release. Bright red cherry in color with pronounced aromas of cassis and ripe red fruit, this wine is clean on the palate, complex and elegant. Well-balanced with vibrant acidity, the Crianza contains perfectly integrated tannins and an agreeable finish. The 2018 vintage received 91 points from Wine Advocate.
