Muriel Vinas Viejas Gran Reserva Rioja 2015 750ml
Product Details
The nose is deep and intense, offering notes of vanilla, coffee, spices, and ripe red fruit. Aromas of dry leaves, leather and a rich, nutty background are evidence of the bottles aging period. The palate is balanced and silky with an elegant finish. This Gran Reserva has a complex and intense personality that will evolve positively over the coming years.
The 35–40-year-old vineyards are planted around the winery’s hometown of Elciego, in Rioja Alavesa. The soils are clay-limestone, very poor, and suitable for vine-growing. The vines are in a traditional goblet system. The climate is Mediterranean, with a strong Atlantic influence.
The grapes were hand-harvested during the first 10 days of October. Fermentation takes place over 20 days in stainless-steel tanks. The wine is aged for 24 months in new French (75%) and American (25%) oak barrels. This is followed by a minimum period of 36 months in the bottle.
