The origin, grapes and craftsmanship behind this wine.
The Luis Cañas Rioja Gran Reserva is a wine originating from the rich terroir of Villabuena de Álava. Here, at an altitude of 530 meters above sea level, the grapes thrive in a uniquely characteristic way. The combination of this altitude and the area's sunny climate gives the grapes a unique personality. The grapes develop beautiful acidity and deep ripeness.
Luis Cañas is known for its dedication to traditional winemaking methods combined with modern technology. They are particularly proud of their old vines, which produce wines of great depth and complexity. Luis Cañas produces a wide range of wines, from young vintages to complex Reservas and Gran Reservas. The wines typically reflect the characteristics of the Rioja Alavesa region, with a balance between fruitiness and oak influence, a signature style of the region. Over the years, the winery has received numerous awards and accolades, both nationally and internationally, confirming its reputation as a leading producer in the Rioja region.
The grapes are harvested entirely by hand and transported to the winery in crates. Here, a strict selection process is carried out to ensure quality. Malolactic fermentation takes place in new barrels, after which the wine is aged for 24 months in French and American oak barrels.
Luis Cañas Rioja Gran Reserva is an aromatic wine. It begins with elegant and subtle notes of cedar, fruit, and a hint of sweetness. Upon tasting, it reveals itself to be an impressive wine. The tannins are well-polished, and the fresh acidity accompanies the wine across the palate. The flavors of fruit and oak linger throughout the tasting. Produced only in the very best vintages, Luis Cañas Rioja Gran Reserva is a must-try for anyone seeking an exceptional wine experience.
