Tasting Notes
A smooth and rounded traditional Rioja blend of red berried fruits and beautifully integrated oaky notes of subtle spice and vanilla.
About
The fruit for Hugonell Crianza comes from vineyards in Rioja Alavesa, Rioja Alta and a little from Rioja Oriental.
The average age of the vines is approximately 15 years and the soil patterns in the vineyards are a combination of the well-known limestone/clay/alluvial mixture, which is found in most of Central Rioja.
The grapes were fermented at controlled temperatures of between 28°C in stainless steel tanks with carefully selected yeasts.
Malolactic conversion took place in concrete vats, followed by 12 months’ barrel ageing in 225 litre oak casks, of which 65% were American oak and 35% were French Allier oak. The barrels were of varying ages from brand new to seven years, imparting complexity to the resulting wine.
The wine is a grape blend of Tempranillo 90%, Garnacha 5%, and Mazuelo 5%.The wine was gently fined and filtered before receiving 10 months’ bottle ageing prior to release.
Ideal with...
Lamb and game, whilst being a great accompaniment for Spanish food such as paella, jamón Iberico and tortilla.
