Taron Cepas Centenarias 2015 Red Wine

Elaboration

Taron Cepas Centenarias 2015 comes from a single century old vineyard in Cuzcurrita de Río Tirón, in the El Monte area of Rioja Alta. Planted at 600 metres above sea level on well aerated clay limestone soils, these ancient vines have spent a lifetime accumulating the reserves of wood, minerals and memory that allow them to produce grapes of exceptional quality year after year. Old vines give little but give everything. Following harvest, the wine is aged for 18 months in new American oak barrels, then rested for a further 18 months in bottle before release. This rare patience in the cellar allows the wine to arrive in the glass fully formed, deeply complex and ready to reward those who open it with the attention it deserves.
