Description

Indulge in the rich tapestry of flavors that Bodegas de la Marquesa's Valserrano Crianza Rioja Alavesa 2019 has to offer. This wine hails from the esteemed Rioja Alavesa region, a place where tradition and passion intertwine to produce wines of exceptional quality. Crafted from the noble Tempranillo grape, this red wine embodies the essence of its terroir. The winemaking expertise of Bodegas de la Marquesa is evident in every sip, where the careful aging in oak barrels creates a harmonious balance of fruit and spice. As you pour the wine into your glass, admire its deep ruby red hue that gives way to an aromatic bouquet. The scent of red fruit, such as cherries and plums, mingles with hints of vanilla and a touch of earthy undertones. On the palate, the wine is a celebration of its diverse flavours. The initial taste is fruity, with red berry notes taking centre stage. As the wine develops, warm and spicy oak notes emerge, providing a beautiful complement. The subtle hint of earth adds complexity and depth, ensuring a long, elegant finish. This wine is classified as a Crianza which means it has undergone at least two years of aging, a minimum of one year in oak barrels, resulting in a wine that is structured and sophisticated. This aging process contributes to its integrated tannins, making it a wonderfully smooth wine. The Valserrano Crianza pairs wonderfully with hearty dishes such as roasted meats, game, and mature cheeses. It is also an excellent companion to traditional Spanish cuisine. Allow it to breathe for about 15 minutes at a serving temperature of 18°C to fully appreciate the array of flavours and aromas it has to offer. The wine's 14% alcohol content lends to a full-bodied and memorable tasting experience. This is not just a bottle of wine; it's a journey through the Rioja region and the artistry of Bodegas de la Marquesa.
