Baigorri Reserva 2016

Description

Baigorri Reserva is a fully-fledged Rioja, without abandoning its heritage and offering the modernity necessary to achieve a balanced and persistent Rioja, which only the great Riojas are capable of achieving.
Made from 100% Tempranillo grown in old vines with limited production and maximum care of the grapes.

Winemaking

After destemming and crushing of the grapes, long macerations are carried out in stainless steel tanks with submerged tops and pumped over by gravity. Malolactic fermentation is then carried out in new French oak barrels.
Finally, the Baigorri Reserva is aged in new French oak barrels for 18 months.
It is recommended to allow it to aerate for an hour before drinking.

Taste

With great power, but with more freshness than other Reservas from La Rioja, foreshadowing a strong phase, with an excellent combination of ripe fruit and oak from the ageing, extremely balanced. Concentrated in the mouth, intense on the palate and with excellent structure. Very persistent due to excellent acidity management and a long finish.

Traditional but contemporary

In general, it is a wine that can be described as a classic Rioja with a more modern touch, as it is made as a single varietal, unlike other wineries that add percentages of other grapes such as Garnacha, mazuelo or Graciano. It is single varietal Tempranillo, not a blend. Power and typicity with a touch of freshness.
