WINE DESCRIPTION

Larchago Crianza Rioja is an exceptional wine from the Rioja Alavesa subzone, crafted from the winery's own vineyards. The grapes are destemmed and fermented in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature to keep the varietal characteristics in the finished wine. A ca. 15-day maceration with continuous pump-overs ensures excellent color extraction. The wine is then aged for 14 months in American oak barrels, followed by an additional 6 months of aging in the bottle and is thus ready to be enjoyed right upon release. This meticulous process results in a well-balanced and elegant wine, perfect for any occasion.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

On the nose, Larchago Crianza offers enticing aromas of ripe red fruits, such as cherries and plums, accompanied by subtle hints of vanilla and spice.These aromas are a result of the wine's aging process in oak barrels, which adds depth and complexity to its profile. The palate of Larchago Crianza is smooth and velvety, with a medium body that is well-balanced. The ripe fruit flavors continue to shine through, complemented by light notes of cedar. The oak aging also contributes to a pleasant and lingering finish, leaving a lasting impression on the palate.
