Made from selected Tempranillo grapes with a small percentage of the other traditional variety, Graciano. The grapes are sourced from vineyards with an average age of over 40 years and are located at 450 to 650 metres above sea level in the Villabuena de Álava area and some neighbouring municipalities.
The wine has the guarantee of origin "Vino de Zona". A seal issued by the DOCa Rioja that certifies that the grapes come from vineyards located in Rioja Alavesa.
The grapes are hand-harvested, followed by a double table selection. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks. Aged for 18 months in used oak barrels (60% French oak and 40% American oak).
Tasting Notes:
It is clean on the nose, with subtle and complex aromas of ripe black fruit combined with notes of liquorice and of the fine wood. Smooth and velvety on the palate, with good structure and fine, juicy tannins. Long finish marked by slight spiciness and ripe fruit notes.
Bodegas Luis Cañas is located in the heart of the highly acclaimed wine region known as the Rioja Alavesa. It is a family-owned winery devoted to winemaking and viticulture for over two centuries, although it was only in 1970, with the commercialisation of its first bottled wines, that the winery took off. Throughout the 1990s, a bigger emphasis was given to the production of good-quality wines, consequently experiencing a rise in sales and becoming what it is today: one of the leading wineries in Rioja Alavesa.
The winery owns 90 ha of vines and works another 200 ha under contract, all of them spread out over 870 mostly small-sized parcels of advanced age and planted on poor chalky clay soil and mostly on slopes and terraces. The result is low yields of excellent quality.
