Limited Edition Rioja Crianza from very old garnacha vines
More Info
Tasting Notes: This Limited Edition wine (only 4000 bottles)comes in numbered bottles and is made from hand selected grapes from very old Garnacha vines, planted prior to 1955 in the "Coscojares" vineyards, which are located at an altitude of 520m in the Sierra de Yegra. Coscojares is an elegant and complex wine, aged for 24 months, 12 of these in french oak and the rest in bottle helping to soften the tannins of this elegant wine. An intense nose with layers of ripe fruit, blackberry, cherry and a balsamic note. Showing supple, velvety rich fruit on the palate with nuances of tobacco and vanilla on the finish.
Fincas de Azabache is a state of the art cooperative, founded in December 1956. The Bodegas now owns 2600 hectares of vineyards at the foot of Mount Yerga, which is at the heart of the driest sub region of Rioja; "Oriental", previously Rioja Baja. With limited risk of rot, this is an area conducive to the principles of organic viticulture, to which the Bodegas is firmly and successfully committed. The cooperative have recently invested heavily in a new winery, the fruits of which we are now seeing.
With nearly 65,000 hectares of vineyard, the region of La Rioja lends its name to Spain`s most widely recognised wines. Rioja is split by three major districts; Alta and Alavesa to the north, which are higher in altitude and the hot dry Oriental district to the south (previously known as Rioja Baja). Tempranillo, Garnacha, Graciano and Mazuelo are the main red grape varieties used however more international varieties can also be used. The traditional aging classification system gives Rioja wines their distinctive style through the influence of extended ageing in oak barrels.
