WINE DESCRIPTION
Orben is a premium red wine produced by Bodegas Orben in the Rioja Alavesa appellation of Spain. The vineyard is situated on a unique terroir with a combination of limestone and clay soils, which impart a distinct minerality to the wine. The grapes are handpicked and carefully selected to ensure only the best fruit is used. The winemaking process involves a combination of traditional and modern techniques, including fermentation in French oak barrels and aging in new French oak barrels for 12 months. The resulting wine is a complex and elegant wine, with notes of black fruit, spices, and a long, persistent finish. Orben is a perfect example of the high-quality wines that Rioja Alavesa is known for.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
On the palate, Orben's signature wine is a symphony of flavors: ripe blackberries, cherries, and plum intermingle with undertones of spice, leather, and cocoa.It boasts velvety tannins and a long, lingering finish, characteristics that make it both an excellent wine for aging as well as immediate enjoyment.
