2014 Rioja Reserva, Sierra Cantabria
Full-bodied Rioja, packed with cherries and heady with flower petals, the whole given depth and seriousness by whiffs of tobacco, cedar and toasty oak.
Food Matching: Ribs and sausages, roasted lamb, cured pork, and griled vegetables. Mushrooms, spices and Shepherds pies. Moussaka and red peppers, Manchego cheese.
Vineyard: Celebrating their 150th anniversary, Sierra Cantabria are steeped in not just history, but innovation. With such iconic projects under their belt as Numanthia and San Vicente, they have revolutionised Rioja and as such many people revere Marcos Eguren, winemaker, to be the finest Spain has to offer. The Sierra Cantabria Estate wines are their nod to the traditions of the region and all hail from the vineyards of Sonsierra de San Vicente. This zone is very well protected from the North and has a sloping landscape from Sierra Cantabria to the Ebro river, with very good South and South-West sun exposure, providing an accentuated and unique identity. With an average yield of 35hl/ha, the grapes are grown using a number of biodynamoc practices and are then hand harvested in small boxes when perfectly healthy and ripe. Further selection made in the winery using a sorting table under Marcos' meticulous eye.
Vinification: The grapes are 100% destemmed. Temperature-controlled fermentation takes place between 28 and 30ºC with indigenous yeast selected from their own vineyards. Extended post-fermentative maceration on the skins for 14 days, with two pump-overs daily in the beginning and a light daily pump-over at the end. The wine ages for 18 months in Bordelaise barrels of (50%) French and (50%) American oak. Age of barrels: 20% new oak and 80% maximum 3 year old oak barrel.
