SKU: FRURIOGR16
For production, tempranillo grapes from vineyards near the Sierra de Yerga area, within the Cervera region are used, at an average altitude of 700m, located in places such as Rincon de Olivedo or Gravalos. For red wines intended for barrel aging, vineyards in the Cabreton area come into play, known for their altitude, which allows grapes with excellent acidity and great longevity. The garnacha element mostly comes from Rioja Alta, from vineyards in the Najera region, near Alesanco, obtaining late-ripening grapes under cool conditions.

Food Pairing

Ideal to accompany all kinds of meats, especially game dishes, with cured cheeses, and dark chocolate desserts.

”An impressive offering, the wine shows dark berry, smoked game, toasted spice and cedar characters on the nose. It's equally satisfying in the mouth, offering seamless flow combined with expansive mouthfeel and loads of complex flavours. Tannins are super-fine and in abundance, leading to a sustained, seductive finish.”
