Product Description
Details
Produced by the Remírez de Ganuza winery, one of the best exponents of the "New World" trend in La Rioja, Fincas de Ganuza Reserva is an exquisitely crafted Spanish red wine
Made from Tempranillo and a dollop of Graciano, the 60-year-old vines were manually harvested and selected twice. Once in the cellar, the grapes were refrigerated for 24 hours and destemmed. During the process, the shoulder grapes of the bunch - the only ones used to produced this Reserva red wine - were separated from the tip grapes.
After fermenting in stainless steel tanks and French oak barrels, this red wine from La Rioja was transferred into half new and half used French oak barrels, where it was aged for 25 months.
Finally, Fincas de Ganuza Reserva 2016 was blended, bottled and aged for a further 36 months in the bottle prior to its commercial release.
Decant 1 hour before drinking.

Additional Information
| Appearance | The red wine Fincas de Ganuza Reserva is deep ruby with a brick-coloured hue at the rim. |
|---|---|
| Nose | This blend of Tempranillo and Graciano is classy and intense. Fresh blueberries, cranberries and spices, combined with aromas of vanilla, clove, cardamom and clove over dim mineral notions and remembrances of balsam and menthol. |
| Palate | This reserva from Remírez de Ganuza has an excellent balance, with lively notions of red fruit, blackcurrants, violets, roasted coffee, cocoa, fine leather and spices. Very good acidity and long, elegant finish. |
| Our personal opinion | Traditional and new at the same time, Fincas de Ganuza Reserva 2016 is an exciting wine that will make a wonderful pairing with game dishes and meat recipes. |
