Rioja wines have traditionally been important to Spanish wines. Viticulture in Rioja originated during the phylloxera outbreak, which initially caused considerable unrest in Bordeaux. People migrated south from Bordeaux, where they believed phylloxera was unheard of. Ultimately, Rioja also suffered the phylloxera, but until then, it still managed to make a remarkable impression on international wine connoisseurs.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e The wines of Finca Egomei\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n Finca Egomei has now celebrated its centennial.

The beautiful Egomei winery is located in the heart of the Rioja wine region. With its 40-year-old vines, Egomei has produced a magnificent harvest of full and powerful bunches. With deep roots, the plants are well-suited to the hot summers, where temperatures can sometimes exceed 40 degrees Celsius. A great deal of work is put into the vineyards to give the Tempranillo grapes their all. This is reflected in the wine, as Egomei wines are known for their pure style, with the exceptional power and suppleness typical of the Rioja wine region. Thanks to the modern techniques in which Egomei has invested heavily, we can taste them in this Crianza Carpess: a rich and full-bodied style with beautiful notes of oak and black fruit.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Are the Carpess grapes bathed before being pressed?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nNo, not in a bath, but the Tempranillo grapes do receive a wonderful treatment. When the Tempranillo grapes for this Carpess have reached the perfect ripeness, they are harvested early in the morning. Bunch by bunch, they are inspected and transported in small wooden crates to the modern winery. There, they await a refreshing shower, something only Egomei does with its grapes. Any remaining imperfections and insects are washed away, leaving the grapes fresh and ready for pressing. This Carpess undergoes a gentle pressing. The wine is also aged for 12 months in French and American oak barriques to earn the Crianza designation.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e The scent and taste of the Carpess Crianza\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nThis beautiful glass of Rioja, the Carpess Crianza, is truly exceptional. The grapes are harvested entirely by hand and sorted for quality. This ensures that only the finest grapes are used in this Carpess Crianza Rioja. This creates aromas of small black and red fruit, woody notes, chocolate, and spices (particularly vanilla and cinnamon). The palate is powerful and flavorful, followed by ripe tannins and a long, intense finish. But what a superb glass! An intense, robust wine with great depth, a true TOP-NOVEL. Want to pair this wine with a dish? Consider meat or a winter barbecue.","brand":"Goessens","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775764107343,"sku":"5860","price":12.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/carpess-crianza-rioja_5860.webp?v=1770046505"},{"product_id":"egomei-rioja","title":"Egomei Rioja","description":"A superb example of craftsmanship! And this is the red Rioja wine that made Egomei famous. But it requires a great deal of work and expertise. It all begins in the old vineyard planted in Alfaro (Rioja) since 1975. The now very mature vines produce a remarkable harvest, and this red Egomei wine consists of eighty-five percent Tempranillo and fifteen percent Graciano. All the grapes develop a kind of princely life and are well-suited to the extremely high temperatures of the Rioja, which can reach over forty degrees Celsius in summer. This makes it crucial that the old vines have deep roots to transport moisture to the bunches. The climate is perfect there, with warm summers and cool winters, making the Rioja ideal for producing very powerful red wines like this Egomei.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Washed grapes for this Egomei Rioja\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nYes, you read that right, the grapes are washed. But first, the grapes are harvested at perfect ripeness. At Egomei, a very large team begins harvesting the grapes by hand very early in the morning. They are transported in small crates to the modern winery, where they are showered. This is a technique unique to the Egomei winery, because, as the winemaker says, fresh and clean grapes produce finer wines. We certainly noticed this when tasting this beautiful red Rioja.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Wood aging for the Egomei Rioja\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nThe Egomei Rioja is aged for 14 months on its lees in French Allier oak barriques. Finally, it is bottle-aged for 6 months. And that's what you get! The nose reveals a mineral note and dominant aromas of sweet black fruit, along with a pleasant hint of oak and vanilla. The palate is rich with well-integrated tannins. The excellent balance between the fruit and the oak lends elegance and finesse to this Egomei. Delicious nuances of black fruit combined with the pleasant tannins make this Rioja perfect. The finish is long and intense.

This wine is made from approximately 75 percent Tempranillo grapes, supplemented with Graciano, sourced from a very old vineyard of around 70 years. These vines produce full-bodied and powerful grapes, perfect for this royal wine, Egomei Alma Rioja. After being hand-harvested, this Alma Rioja is aged for 18 months in oak barrels in Egomei's cellars. This is followed by a further 6 months of bottle aging, as the wine only leaves the cellar when it is in top condition. Fortunately, this vintage is ready to drink. The aroma reveals a very broad bouquet of black fruit, light spices, plums, chocolate, tobacco, and oak. The palate is very full, with refined, beautiful tannins and ripe fruit notes such as blackberry and cherry. On the back of the tongue we tasted nuances of vanilla, toasted oak, pepper and other spices, but also some plums and dark chocolate.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Goessens","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775793172559,"sku":"9873","price":59.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/egomei-alma-rioja_9873.webp?v=1770111973"}],"url":"https:\/\/perfectewijn.be\/en\/collections\/wijnhuis-finca-egomei.oembed","provider":"Perfecte Wijn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
