Country: Spain Region: Rioja Varietal: 100% Tempranillo Vintage: 2018 Colour: Red Style: Dry Producer: Bodega Baigorri Description: Founded in 1996, Bodega Baigorri is one of the most renowned producers in Rioja. The vineyards are divided into many small plots on the terraced hill slopes, upstream of the Ebro river. Depending on the orientation of the vineyard and the constitution of the soil, they benefit from a specific microclimate that refines wines with a unique character. The modern cellar is designed in such a way that the grapes are conveyed exclusively by gravity, without any pump. The architectural style fascinates thanks to its incredible functionality.The Tempranillo grapes are sourced from different plots on clayey-limestone soil, located in San Vicente de la Sonsierra. The over 40-year-old vines here produce the Baigorri Reserva guaranteeing low yields and excellent fruit quality. Drink it now or cellar for up to 20 years. It is recommended to decant it for an hour. Tasting Note: On the nose we get black fruits and compote, spices and dairy products. On the palate it's fresh, elegant, powerful and persistent. Food Matches: Sausages, Iberian ham, veal, lamb, roasts, game, and mature cheeses. Very suitable for lunches, dinners and before dessert.
