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.
