WINE DESCRIPTION
Viñedos de Páganos La Nieta is a premium red wine produced by the Eguren family in the Rioja Alavesa appellation of Spain. The wine is made from Tempranillo grapes grown in the La Nieta vineyard, which is situated at an altitude of 600 meters above sea level and benefits from a unique microclimate. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks and aging in French oak barrels for 18 months. The resulting wine is a complex and elegant expression of the Tempranillo grape, with notes of black fruit, spices, and a long, persistent finish. La Nieta is a highly sought-after wine among collectors and wine enthusiasts, and is considered one of the finest examples of Rioja Alavesa.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This medium-bodied Tempranillo from Ribera del Duero offers an inviting nose of cherries, raspberries, and spice.The palate is full and creamy, with ripe tannins, a bright acidity, and a touch of smoky oak. The finish is fresh and savory, with a lingering hint of leather and tobacco. Enjoy this full-flavored wine with juicy steaks, sharp cheddar, or a savory mushroom risotto.
