Description
To make our Dominio de ARVS crianza, we select Tempranillo grapes from fields situated in the north of Rioja Alta. The vineyards are over 30 years old.
The Atlantic climate and clayey-chalky soil nurture the aroma and taste complexity of this wine, achieving a perfect balance.
The grapes are picked by hand in the early weeks of October when they are at just the right stage of ripeness.
Viticulture: Rioja Alta.
Variety: Tempranillo.
Yield: 6000 kg/ha.
Vinification: The fermentation and maceration process takes place in stainless steel tanks for 17 days. Malolactic fermentation takes place in the tank and it is decanted twice before being put into barrels to start ageing.
Barrel ageing: It is aged for 14 months in American oak barrels holding 225 litres each. 20% of these barrels are of new oak.
Bottle ageing: Minimum of 6 months.
Serving temperature: 18ºC.
Recommended food: This crianza is the perfect companion to all kinds of meats and stews. It also goes very well with Serrano ham, sausages or slightly cured cheeses.
