El Pedal Tempranillo Rioja Alta DOCa - Finca La Emperatriz

In the glass, the El Pedal Tempranillo Rioja Alta from Finca La Emperatriz shows a bright ruby color. With a little time in the glass, this red wine from the Old World offers wonderfully expressive aromas of plum, blueberry, black cherry and black currant, rounded off by other fruity nuances.

This wine delights with its elegantly dry flavor. It was bottled with exceptionally low residual sugar. This is a real quality wine, which clearly stands out from simpler qualities and so this Spaniard enchants naturally with all dryness with the finest balance.

The finale of this youthful red wine from the wine-growing region of Rioja, more precisely from the Rioja DOCa, finally thrills with beautiful reverberation.

Vinification of the Finca La Emperatriz El Pedal Tempranillo Rioja Alta

This wine clearly focuses on one grape variety, and that is Tempranillo. For this wonderfully balanced single-varietal wine from Finca La Emperatriz, only premium grape material was brought in. After the hand harvest, the grapes arrive at the winery by the fastest route. Here they are sorted and carefully crushed. Fermentation then takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. Fermentation is followed by aging for several months on the fine lees before the wine is finally drawn into bottles.
