WINE DESCRIPTION

Olivier Rivière Rioja Losares is a premium wine produced by Olivier Rivière, a renowned winemaker known for his innovative approach to winemaking. The wine is made in the Rioja region, which is famous for producing some of the best wines in Spain. The vineyards used to produce this wine are located in the Rioja Alta region, which is known for its high altitude and cool climate, resulting in grapes with excellent acidity and freshness. The winemaking process involves using traditional techniques, including fermentation in concrete tanks and aging in oak barrels. The resulting wine is a complex and elegant blend of Tempranillo, Mazuelo, and Graciano grapes, with notes of red fruit, spices, and a hint of oak. It is a perfect wine for those who appreciate a balanced and refined style.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

Aromas of dark cherry and plum are complemented by subtle notes of leather, tobacco and earthy spices.The palate is round and fleshy, with integrated tannins and a delicate balance between acidity and sweetness. Aromas of ripe red fruit take center stage here, underpinned by nuances of clove, wet earth and licorice. The finish is long, structured and satisfying.
