This red wine is made from Grenache, Mazuelo, and Tempranillo grapes grown near Uruñuela. This is where the finest grapes originate, cultivated at an altitude of up to 800 meters. Grapes grown at very high altitudes are used for this wine, making them fuller and more powerful. After being hand-harvested in the Rioja Alta region, where each bunch is inspected, this red wine is aged in oak. American oak barrels are used, with French oak butts. Unique barrels also produce a unique wine, we can tell you. After a period of up to 12 months, the wine is ready and bottled. But the Leza García family believes it's not finished yet. The bottles are aged for another six months in the cellar, and only then is this red wine truly finished. After a long wait, the moment of joy has finally arrived!
Pouring this red Nube de Leza Garcia Rioja Crianza reveals a very inviting cherry/ruby red color. It fills the glass with all the beautiful characteristics of the Rioja region. Think of notes of black cherries and chocolate, with hints of vanilla and pepper. The palate is teased with hints of black fruit and subtle oak notes. Sip this superb wine for a moment, and you'll also taste hints of spice and fresh plums. A wine with the undisputed characteristics of Rioja, yet also with the friendliness and drinkability of everyday life. Wow, what a superb wine.
