Rosario Vera Rioja
$15.99
Deep purple to the edge. Gorgeous aromas of blackberries, cassis, red currant, plum, black licorice and tobacco. Integrated layers of black licorice, cherry, plum jam, toast, oak and cedar on the palate. Well balanced with supple texture and long finish.
Rosario Vera is the Gil Family’s most recent venture, taking them to the famed Rioja region. Named after the 4th generation’s mother, the winery is a testament to the role she played in the continuity of the family business. The Gil family purchased small plots of Tempranillo, aged between 15 and 60 years, in Rioja Alavesa and Rioja Alta, at altitudes between 1,300 and 2,600 feet. Each parcel is fermented and aged separately in French oak barrels.
Dry-farmed, no pesticides or herbicides, hand-harvested, Vegan
James Suckling- Lovely violets, lavender, tea leaves and black pepper to this Rioja. A lively thread of acidity runs right through the center of the medium body, which ends grainy and tangy, though not particularly long.
