This wine presents a deep garnet hue, indicative of its concentrated nature. The bouquet unfolds with layers of black cherry, cassis, and a hint of graphite, underscored by a subtle earthiness that speaks to its terroir. On the palate, it is full-bodied and impeccably structured, with firm tannins and a vibrant acidity that provides balance and longevity. The mid-palate reveals nuances of dark chocolate and a whisper of dried herbs, leading to a persistent finish marked by mineral undertones. This wine is a quintessential expression of its region, showcasing both elegance and power.

Bodegas Bal Minuta Viña Balén is crafted from grapes grown in the sun-drenched vineyards of Rioja, Spain. The region's warm days and cool nights contribute to a balanced ripening process, enhancing the wine's fruit character and acidity. This wine undergoes fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve its fresh, vibrant flavors. A portion of the wine is aged in French oak barrels, adding subtle complexity and structure. Viña Balén is designed to be enjoyed in its youth, showcasing bright fruit notes and a smooth, approachable finish, ideal for those seeking a modern expression of Rioja.
