Solarce Vineyard Red Wine

Viña Solarce Red Wine, produced by Bodegas Casa La Rad under the quality seal of the Rioja Qualified Designation of Origin (D.

EITHER.

Rioja).

This wine perfectly represents the diversity and richness of the region, combining tradition and modernity at every stage of its production.

The blend is composed of 65% Tempranillo, 20% Garnacha and 15% Mazuelo, Graciano, Maturana and other native varieties, which provides complexity, structure and a great aromatic richness.

The grapes come from vineyards located between 530 and 650 meters above sea level, with an average age of 25 years, planted on varied soils that include alluvial clays, limestone and rocky areas at higher altitudes, all with surface vegetation.

The grape harvest takes place in the last week of September, at the optimal time of ripening for each variety.

Winemaking begins with direct pressing and flotation settling, ensuring a clean and expressive must.

Alcoholic fermentation, with selected yeasts, is carried out at 16ºC for 9 days, which allows the fruity and fresh aromas of the varieties to be preserved.

Subsequently, the wine is divided into two parts: half is aged for a minimum of 9 months in 225-liter French (60%) and American (40%) oak barrels, while the other half remains in stainless steel tanks.

Malolactic fermentation takes place in a combination of tanks and barrels, which favors a rounder texture and a more integrated character.

The result is a young, aged red wine that stands out for its aromas of red and black fruits, light spicy notes, and perfectly integrated hints of wood.

On the palate it is tasty, balanced and with good persistence, ideal to accompany grilled meats, sausages and cured cheeses.

If you're looking to buy a Rioja red wine with freshness and character, Viña Solarce Red Wine is an excellent choice.
