AMADOR MEDRANO
TERRA RED WINE RIOJA ALAVESA 750ML
SPAIN • RIOJA ALAVESA
"A single-plot red wine that pays homage to the finesse, freshness and authenticity of the Rioja Alavesa terroir. Coming from the exclusive Finca El Encinal, located at 570 meters of altitude at the foot of the Sierra de Cantabria, this single-varietal Tempranillo made by Bodegas Medrano Irazu seduces with its brilliant picota-cherry red color with violet flashes. On the nose it unfolds intense aromas of ripe red and black fruit, harmonized with subtle nuances of vanilla, coconut, cocoa and spices from its 9 to 10 months of aging in French oak barrels. On the palate it is round, enveloping and very balanced, with silky tannins, vibrant freshness and a long, elegant finish."
