WINE DESCRIPTION

Perica Olagosa Crianza is a distinguished red wine from Spain, crafted by Bodegas Perica in the renowned Rioja appellation. This elegant blend consists of 90% Tempranillo, 5% Garnacha, and 5% Mazuelo, showcasing the classic character of the region. The grapes are harvested at their optimal ripeness and undergo alcoholic fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. This is followed by malolactic fermentation in French oak vats. The wine is then aged for 16-18 months in American and Eastern oak barrels, and an additional 6 months in the bottle before release. The result is a well-balanced wine with rich flavors, velvety tannins, and a complex finish, embodying the meticulous craftsmanship and terroir of Rioja.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

Upon tasting, this Crianza reveals a harmonious balance between fruitiness and oak influence. The ripe red fruit flavors continue on the palate, accompanied by notes of tobacco and leather, which add depth and complexity. The oak aging contributes to a smooth and velvety texture, with well-integrated tannins that provide structure and a lingering finish. Perica Olagosa Crianza is a versatile wine that pairs well with a variety of dishes. It complements grilled meats, roasted vegetables, and aged cheeses beautifully. This wine is best enjoyed at a slightly cooler temperature to fully appreciate its flavors and aromas.
