Hugonell, Rioja Reserva, |2018| 13.5% | 75cl

Tasting Note

This is a classically made Rioja, which shows wonderful aromatic complexity of red berries, liquorice and hints of smokiness, cedar and spice oak flavours. A warm and heady palate leads to a mature and rich finish.

Winemaking A careful selection of the fruit took place, enabling winemaker Javier to perform long periods of maceration in order to ensure good extraction of tannins, aroma and flavour components. Each grape variety was fermented separately in vats at controlled temperatures of between 28 to 30°C. The wine was racked into large American oak vats before being left to age for 18 months in oak casks. After bottling, the Reserva was bottle aged in the cellar to develop its bouquet and harmonious character.
