Olarra Gran Reserva
31 December, 2017
Olarra Reserva
One of the very first wines Bodegas Olarra ever released back in the early 1970’s, we regard it as an architectural masterpiece in its own right, just like the Bodegas Olarra winery, historically the first of the several architectural feats linked to winemaking in Rioja built in the second half of the 20th century.
23,00€
VINEGROWING
Tempranillo and Garnacha grapes grown in the three sub-zones os the DOCa Rioja.
WINEMAKING
As in the classic processes of the end of the last century, the wine was kept in the vat for a short time to preserve the original freshness and the more varietal features.
BARREL AGEING
Aged for eighteen months in new casks of Missouri oak with regular racking. After light fining with egg whites, it was bottled ready for its bottle ageing period.
TASTING NOTES
Medium-high intensity of colour, ruby red with cherry hues. Bright and lively. On the nose, the predominant aromas are of red berries, vanilla and spicy tones. More complex aromas (honey, toasted aromas…) begin to come through to form the bouquet. In the mouth it is firm and soft on the middle palate, long with very open aromas which still linger after swallowing.
