Country: Spain Region: Rioja Varietal: Tempranillo, Mazuelo & Garnacha Vintage: 2017 Colour: Red Style: Dry Producer: C.V.N.E Description: Viña Real is made from grapes grown in Rioja Alavesa where the people of the villages are dedicated almost totally to grape growing, this being a deep rooted tradition, passed down from generation to generation. The grapes which make up Viña Real Crianza are sourced from our own vineyards in Laguardia and from our trusted providers in Rioja Alavesa who have supplied us for many years. De-stemmed grapes were transferred to stainless steel vats for the alcoholic fermentation at temperature control between 26-28℃.  Following completion of the malolactic fermentation, the wine was transferred to French and American oak barrels where it aged for 13 to 14 months. During this period the wine is racked every 5-6 months to encourage ripening and proper organoleptic development. Tasting Note:Ripe and richly fruity wine with rich aromas of fruit cake and spice, smooth and supple in the mouth with perfectly integrated oak, a rounded silky texture and smooth tannins, all supported by a lovely weight of fruit.
