Rioja 'Selección' Vina Ane 2021
Exclusive wineryThe Selección di Vina Ane is an intense yet fresh Tempranillo that ages for 13 months in French oak barrels. Aromas of tobacco and dried fruit emerge on the nose, anticipating a sensation of complexity and fullness on the palate. Ideal to enjoy with spicy dishes and hearty meals.
The Rioja 'Selección' by Viña Ane is configured as a broad and balanced expression of Tempranillo, the undisputed varietal symbol of the famous wine region of Rioja. Located in San Vicente de la Sonsierra, in the prestigious area of Rioja Alta, the bodega Viña Ane is passionately run by the Monge-Garbati couple, who take care of almost 5 hectares of vineyards from which they produce a wine capable of interpreting the established local tradition in a modern way. To achieve this, the owners Eduardo Monge and Lorena Garbati adopt a precise winemaking approach, far from sophistication and excessive interventions.
The 'Selección' Viña Ane Rioja is made from only Tempranillo grapes grown on clay-limestone soils within the plots of Valseca and Tasugueras, located at an altitude of about 600 meters above sea level. The clusters are manually selected during the harvest and are then vinified in red through 10 days of alcoholic fermentation in French oak barriques at controlled temperature, with 6 days of skin maceration and complete malolactic fermentation. The subsequent aging phase of 13 months also takes place in French oak barriques and after further resting in the bottle, the wine is finally ready for market release.
To the eye, the 'Selección' Rioja by Viña Ane shows a purplish-red color. The aromatic profile is seductive with hints of cherry, blackberry, blue flowers, dark chocolate, tobacco, and dried fruit, surrounded by complex sensations of bay leaf, cedar wood, and clove. Taste very fresh and flavorful, with excellent balance, defined by a full body and soft tannic texture, with a finish of great intensity and mineral persistence.
