Winemaking

Pata Negra Rioja Reserva is obtained from grapes selected low-yielding older vines. These grapes which have a significant polyphenolic concentration are fermented in stainless steel tanks with precise temperatures and maceration to obtain an aromatic, intense and potent wine resulting in malolactic fermentation in concrete tanks for future transfer to barrels of American and French oak where for 27 months the wine will obtain additional aromas from the wood, as well as a complexity and potency that will be fine-tuned at our bottling facilities for a wine with personality and excellent development in the short, medium and long term.

Pairing

We recommend serving this Rioja at a temperature between 16°C and 18°C.
Perfect for game dishes, roasted red meat, Manchego cheese and the best Pata Negra ham. Try it with chocolate…You will be surprised

Vina Arnaiz Reserva

Vina Arnaiz Reserva

We recommend uncorking or decanting for a while prior to tasting to fully appreciate its virtues.

Tasting note

Viña Arnáiz Reserva is a wine of high intensity cherry red color, with beautiful violet trim indicating its long, controlled maceration. Notes of wild fruit and spices can be appreciated, with a vanilla base derived from its perfectly integrated aging in barrel.
Its palate is full of nuances, with a pitch of intensity. Again we find a fruity finish accompanied by the maturity of sweet tannins integrated in the wine’s structure, providing elegance and a long finish.

Winemaking

The production of this wine begins in January with the pruning of the oldest vines, at which time the optimal number of buds for the plant’s balance is set. After 10 months of care in the fields, and having reached the appropriate level of ripeness, the vines are harvested at night so that the grapes reach the cellar at low temperature and without unwanted maceration. Maceration lasts for 25 days, thereby achieving the grapes’ full potential.
Malolactic fermentation takes place in the presence of fine lees. Once fermentation is complete, the wine is decanted twice and finally placed in the barrel for aging. This wine is aged in new French oak barrels for 18 days, during which two decantings are performed to help oxygenate the wine. After this period, the wine remains in the bottle for 18 months to complete the aging period.

Pairing

This Vina Arnaiz goes perfectly with red meat and roasts.
We recommend uncorking or decanting for a while prior to tasting to fully appreciate its virtues. Serve between 16º and 18ºC.

Winemaking

During pruning plots whose fruit will be included in the coupage of each wine are selected. After the grapevines have received careful treatment throughout the year, the harvest date is set when the grapes have reached their optimal ripeness on each plot, and manual harvesting of the grapes begins. Once the grapes arrive at the winery, they are de-stemmed and proceed to maceration in the tanks, which is extended until the desired balance in the wine’s composition is achieved. Next comes devatting by gravity without mechanical action, and the wine obtained, after an initial decanting, undergoes malolactic fermentation. This wine is aged in new French and American oak barrels for 425 days, during which three decantings are performed to help oxygenate the wine. After this period, the wine remains in the bottle for one year to complete the aging period.

Pata Negra Apasionado

I am text block

I am text block. Click edit button to change this text. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Ut elit tellus, luctus nec ullamcorper mattis, pulvinar dapibus leo.

Tasting note

Appearance: Very deep, dark and bright cherry color.
Aromas: Intense and attractive aromas of roasted coffee, plums and black fruit.
Palate: Feeling of fullness in the mouth, tasty, long, with smooth and round tannins and a persistent finish.

Winemaking

Each varietal is prepared separately and only after each wine is finished do we decide what percentage of each one to add to the final blend.
The Monastrell grapes come from older vineyards with very low yield in dry areas, so the grapes arrive somewhat raisined with higher concentrations of sugars, providing the wine with a sweet taste and higher alcohol content. The resulting wine has finished consuming all of the sugars and is semisweet.
The other varietals undergo normal vinification in stainless steel tanks with temperature control and continuous pumping.

Pairing

We recommend consuming Pata Negra Apasionado at a temperature of 16°C.
Perfect with grilled meats, spicy food, or just by the glass. Try it with an ounce of dark chocolate
