Product Description
Details
Produced by Bodegas Baigorri, the wine Baigorri Belus is one of the bottlings of the Vinos de Autor collection.
Made principally from Graciano, something unusual in La Rioja, this Spanish red wine is complemented with some Tempranillo and Grenache.
Meticulously harvested and selected, the uncrushed grapes were destemmed, selected on a vibrating table and fermented in stainless steel tanks with gentle pump-overs performed through gravity.
After that, this red wine from La Rioja was transferred into French oak barrels, where it completed malolactic fermentation. Then this vegan wine was aged for a period of 14 months.
Finally, the wine Baigorri Belus 2018 was bottled unfined and unfiltered. Before hitting the market, it was kept in the cellar for some months.
Decant this Crianza red wine 30 minutes before drinking.

belus baigorri
This wine is tartier and more focused than the average Rioja. I suppose it is because of the mazuela grape. Anyway, I love this style.

Cherry color. Powerful and concentrated. Ripe and textured, with raspberries and damsons. Very long. Lovely.
