WINE DESCRIPTION

Luis Cañas Rioja Reserva is a premium red wine produced by the renowned Spanish winery, Luis Cañas. This wine comes from the Rioja appellation, which is known for producing some of the best wines in Spain. The vineyards used to produce this wine are located in the Rioja Alavesa region, which is known for its high altitude and cool climate, resulting in grapes with excellent acidity and freshness. The winemaking process involves aging the wine for 18 months in French and American oak barrels, followed by a further 18 months of bottle aging. The resulting wine is a complex and elegant blend of Tempranillo and other local grape varieties, with notes of red fruit, vanilla, and spice. It is a perfect match for grilled meats and hearty stews.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Rioja Reserva from Luis Cañas is a beautiful expression of the Tempranillo and Graciano grape.Its aromas of dark cherries, licorice, and dried herbs are complex and inviting. On the palate, this wine is medium-bodied and silky, with flavors of ripe cherries, licorice, and hints of cedar and tobacco. The finish is long, with a pleasant acidity and ripe tannins. Enjoy this wine now or cellar it for a few more years to allow the flavors to further develop.
