Castillo de Clavijo Reserva DOC 2014 - Criadores de Rioja
The Castillo de Clavijo Reserva Tinto DOCa from Criadores de Rioja is a wonderful cuvée from the grape varieties Tempranillo (85%), Garnacha Tinta (10%) and Mazuelo (5%).
This Spanish red wine reveals itself in a deep dark cherry-red colour, which is already a bit blackish. In the nose this wine presents fruity nuances (blackberries, red currants, cherries), pleasantly intense aromas of spices, noble wood, toasted notes and vanilla. A juicy, fleshy mouthfeel and a dominant body unfold on the palate. In the long persistent finish a good balance between ripe fruits and clear tannins can be seen.
Vinification of the Castillo de Clavijo Reserva Tinto
After the grapes of the Criadores de Rioja estate have been harvested manually, they are destemmed, ground and fermented at controlled temperatures in stainless steel tanks. This Rioja red wine then matures for 18 months in American and French oak barrels.
Food recommendation for the Criadores de Rioja Castillo de Clavijo Reserva
