Finca San Martin Crianza DOCa - Torre de Oña

The Finca San Martin Crianza of Torre de Oña from the Spanish wine region DOCa Rioja is a balanced, elegant and varietal red wine. 

This wine shimmers in the glass in a bright cherry red with ruby highlights. The nose enjoys a complex bouquet that reveals fruity aromas of  raspberries, cranberries, currants and blackberries. This is complemented by notes of cocoa, freshly ground coffee, cinnamon, licorice, licorice and white pepper. Already with the first sip, the palate is impressed by the pleasant freshness and juiciness. The good acidity is very well balanced and harmonizes wonderfully with the soft tannins. Pronounced notes of red fruits come to the fore. The finish rounds out this Spanish red wine with a pleasantly long reverberation that carries balsamic notes of barrel aging. 

Vinification of the Torre de Oña Finca San Martin Crianza

The Tempranillo grapes come from the San Martín I and II plots. 

By hand, the berries are harvested and selected already in the vineyard. Strict care is taken to ensure that only ripe grapes are harvested. Once in the winery of Torre de Oña, the grapes are destemmed, pressed and fermented in stainless steel tanks. After alcoholic fermentation, this wine undergoes malolactic fermentation for 3 months. 

Once the complete fermentation process is completed, this wine is aged 60% in new American oak barrels and 40% in French oak barrels (second racking) for 16 months.
