Suzzane 2016

SUZZANE expresses perfectly the characteristics that Garnacha offers us in Riojan soils. Moreover does it reflect the respect we have for the old vineyards of the region.

Viticulture and Vinification:

Vineyard :

A vineyard of 3ha located in Cárdenas (Rioja Alta) at 580 metres altitude, dating back to 1903. It has an iron-rich clay soil with over 10% of rocks and gives low yields of 2000 kg per hectare. The various parcels this vineyard is comprised of show small differences which add to the complexity of the wine.

Viticulture:

Organically with regenerative agriculture and maximum respect for the environment.

Vinification:

Fermentation takes place in 500 litre used French oak barrels and concrete egg, using indigenous yeasts. The wine ages for approximately 12 months in 500 litre French oak barrels and concrete egg.

Tasting notes:

Suzzane is a very elegant wine. The seductive velvet texture is balanced by juicy acidity and softly gripping tannins. Aroma´s of black berry and black cherry, sweet spicy flavours such as cinnamon and cacao, tobacco and floral notes (violet, lavender). All leading to a concentrated and complex aftertaste.

Serving temperature:

16ºC

Food Pairing:

Both roasted and grilled red meats. Also sausages and cured cheeses.
