This elegant wine hails from the Sierra de la Demanda, a mountainous region in Rioja Alta known for its cool climate and unique red silica soils. Crafted primarily from old-vine Garnacha, planted as far back as 1940, this wine offers a rare and captivating glimpse into Rioja's diverse terroir.
Expect a deep red hue, followed by lively aromas of cherry, red berries, and spice, with subtle notes of floral oil, game, and tobacco. On the palate, the wine is seamless and focused, offering juicy raspberry and bitter cherry that evolve into a sweeter expression with air. Well-integrated tannins provide structure and promise aging potential.
This Rioja is a testament to Alberto Orte's meticulous approach to winemaking, which emphasizes freshness, minerality, and a commitment to showcasing the unique characteristics of each terroir.
