Serna Imperial Seleccion Rioja 2001 - 750ml

Tasting Notes

Brick red deep covered. Clean on the nose with spicy aromas, toasts and dried fruits. Well structured, savory, ample and well balanced. Pleasant  finish and harmonized flavors. Complex retronasal, in which we find balsamic  and good oak. Finishes elegantly. 

About the Wine

Grapes from the Cuesta la Reina estate, a hillside facing the sun with poor soils where the family has been cultivating the vineyard for four generations. A place from which very fine and elegant wines are obtained, capable of expressing all the character of the land in which they are grown.

Grapes harvested by hand and selected in the vineyards to ensure that only the best quality bunches arrive at the winery. Fermentation is done in stainless steel tanks with indigenous yeasts. Once the fermentation is finished, it is macerated for at least 10 days. The wine is aged in American oak barrels with an average age of 5 years and remains in them for at least 24 months. During this time, six rackings are made. Once cleaned, the wine is bottled, remaining in the bottle rack before going on the market for at least 36 months.

Blend: 70% Tempranillo, 15% Garnacha, 15% Mazuelo
