Red wine | Rioja, Spain
The Berruxo Reserva is a testament to the rich winemaking heritage of Rioja, Spain, crafted by V.A.S.C. - Duque de Montebello S.A. This wine is made primarily from the Tempranillo grape, the heart and soul of Rioja. The vineyards are nestled in the renowned Rioja region, where the unique climate and soil contribute to the distinct character of the grapes.
This Reserva offers a complex and inviting flavor profile. On the nose, you'll be greeted with aromas of ripe red fruits like cherry and plum, interwoven with subtle notes of vanilla and spice derived from oak aging. The palate is dry and balanced, with a harmonious blend of fruit, tannins, and acidity. The oak influence adds a layer of complexity, with hints of vanilla and cedar.
The winemaking process is carefully managed to ensure the highest quality. The grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness, fermented in stainless steel tanks, and then aged in oak barrels for a period of time, allowing the wine to develop its structure and complexity. This Reserva represents the winery's commitment to producing wines that are both approachable and age-worthy.
The Berruxo Reserva is best served at around 16°C, allowing its aromas and flavors to fully express themselves. Consider letting it breathe for about 30 minutes before serving to further enhance its characteristics. This wine pairs exceptionally well with a variety of dishes, making it a versatile choice for any occasion.
For a classic pairing, try it with roasted lamb or grilled beef. The wine's structure and tannins complement the richness of the meat. It also works beautifully with hearty stews, mature cheeses, or even a simple plate of charcuterie.
