VINESTRAL RIOJA CRIANZA 2008, BODEGAS MARQUES DE REINOSA

TASTING NOTES

A classic Rioja Crianza from a very good producer, this is full of fresh berry fruit complemented by a lovely smooth texture from good use of oak.

PRODUCER NOTES

Bodegas Marqués de Reinosa was founded in 1956 and takes its name from the Marqués de Reinosa, a key figure in the development of Rioja wine over a century ago. An ultra-modern winery was built in 2000 in Autol, Rioja Baja.

Viñestral is a superb, value for money range of wines. The Crianza is made from 100% Tempranillo and matures in a mixture of French and American oak. Medium bodied and fragrant, with bright cherry-like fruit, it is produced in a relatively traditional way, with an emphasis on elegance over extraction.

Viñestral Blanco is made from the bodega’s best old-vine Viura, which delivers intense white fruit flavours with hints of flowers and fine herbs. A carefully timed period of maceration, followed by strict temperature-controlled fermentation, ensures the primary characteristics of the Viura grapes are retained.
