Tasting note

Appearance: Perfect deep maroon color, covered, with no hint of evolution. Bright and clean.
Nose: Light tones of reduction (typical of a reserve wine), which quickly disappear giving way to a fragrant, complex nose with spicy, tobacco and ripe red fruit tones.
Palate: On the palate we find a harmonious, full and elegant wine, displaying a perfect symbiosis between wine and oak. Magnificent persistence and duration showing a polished tannin

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
It is recommended to decant this wine before serving to enjoy its full potential.
