Product Description
Details
Produced by Remírez de Ganuza, Viña Coqueta is a single vineyard Spanish red wine made from a blend of 90% Tempranillo and 10% Grenache. The grapes come solely from Finca La Coqueta, an exceptional plot located in Samaniego, in the very heart of La Rioja Alavesa.
Harvested by hand and selected on site, once in the cellar the grape bunches were first refrigerated for 24 hours. Then the upper Tempranillo grapes were separated from the lower ones (which are used for crafting the carbonic maceration wine Erre Punto).
Alcoholic fermentation was carried out in stainless steel tanks and concrete vats. After that, this red wine from La Rioja was transferred into 80% new and 20% 2nd year French (80%) and American oak barrels, where it went through malolactic fermentation.
After completing the process, Viña Coqueta Reserva 2013 was aged for 25 months in the barrels.
Bottled in April 2016, this Reserva red wine was finally aged for several years in the bottle.
Decant at least 1 hour before drinking.

| Appearance | The red wine Viña Coqueta Reserva is medium purple with some ruby glints. |
|---|---|
| Nose | Lively aromas of cranberries and blackberries over a spicy, delicately sweet background, with some hints of smoke, leather, lavender, wet earth and a delicately floral touch. Excellent blend of Tempranillo and Grenache. |
| Palate | This wine of the Remírez de Ganuza winery is bold, dense and savoury, with chewy tannins, impressive freshness and remarkable balance between fruit and oak. The finish is long and pleasant, with an aftertaste of forest berries, liquorice, tobacco and tar. |
| Our personal opinion | Full-bodied and amazingly elegant, Viña Coqueta Reserva 2013 could be compared to a premium Northern Rhône red. |

Been a fan of Fernado Remirez since I visited his winery and he showed us around. Painstakingly meticulous winemaker, his wines have great precision. Coqueta, it seems to me, has a livelier character than the rest, while keeping the age-worthiness. Superb.
