Reserva Rioja DOCa - Real Agrado

With the Real Agrado Reserva Rioja comes a first-class red wine in the wine glass. In this it shows a wonderfully dense purple color. Slightly slanted, a transition of color towards garnet red is visible at the edges of this barrel-aged wine. The bouquet of this red wine from La Rioja delights with nuances of black currant, mulberry, blueberry and blackberry. If we trace the aromatics further, black tea, dark chocolate and cinnamon are added, encouraged by the oak influence.

This red from Real Agrado is the right wine for all wine lovers who like it dry. However, it never appears sparse or brittle, as one would naturally expect from a wine. On the palate, the texture of this powerful red wine is wonderfully velvety and dense. Due to its concise fruit acidity, the Reserva Rioja is wonderfully fresh and lively on the palate. In the finish, this very storable red wine from the wine-growing region of La Rioja finally inspires with considerable length. There are again hints of mulberry and blueberry. In the aftertaste, mineral notes of the limestone and clay dominated soils are added.

Vinification of the Real Agrado Reserva Rioja

The basis for the powerful Reserva Rioja from La Rioja are grapes from the grape varieties Carignan, Garnacha, Graciano and Tempranillo. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in La Rioja. The vines here dig their roots deep into soils of clay and limestone. The grapes for this red wine from Spain are harvested, at the time of optimal maturity, exclusively by hand. After the grape harvest, the grapes reach the press house by the fastest route. Here they are selected and carefully broken up. Fermentation follows in small wood at controlled temperatures. After the end of fermentation, the Reserva Rioja is aged for 18 months in French and American oak barrels. The aging in oak barrels is followed by a long aging in bottle, which makes this red wine even more complex.
