INTRODUCTION
Sonsierra’s position, south of the Cantabrian Mountains and north of the River Ebro, creates an Atlantic microclimate with a Mediterranean influence that is highly advantageous for vine-growing. These qualities make the terroir of Sonsierra one of the most suitable in all Rioja for the cultivation of high-quality vines. Having so many hectares of vineyards, with vines of different ages and planted at different altitudes, provides us with a wide range of qualities to choose from when producing wines with different flavour profiles.
TASTING NOTES
Cherry-red in colour with a vibrant maroon edge. The barrel-aging process provides a bouquet with aromas of cocoa, vanilla and coffee, against a lively, fragrant background of ripe fruits and liquorice. In the mouth it is well-rounded and harmonious, with an excellent blend of spices and other flavours typical of the grape variety.
