Availability: In stock
This is the new vintage of Coto de Hayas Viñas del Cierzo, a blended Spanish red wine produced by Bodegas Aragonesas.
Made from Grenache, Syrah and Mazuela (Carignan), the grapes come from over 40-year-old vines grown in terraces composed of slate and clay soils, located in DO Campo de Borja.
Separately harvested, the grapes were macerated and then fermented in stainless steel tanks. After that, the wine underwent malolactic fermentation and was aged for 12 months in French oak barrels.
Finally, Coto de Hayas Viñas del Cierzo 2016 was aged for some months in the bottle before its release.
This Crianza red wine is an excellent value.
