D.O.Ca. Rioja

Lacrimus Apasionado

The method of production of this wine is not conventional, it is a special wine. The main part of the grapes this wine is produce with, is left on the vine longer, so that the fruit become slightly over ripe until phenolic maturity is completed. Another part of the tempranillo variety is harvested in boxes and left to dehydrate in trays on shelves in the cellar. Both varieties are vinified separately, the wines are blended just before starting malolactic fermentation, which takes place in oak barrels.

• Vineyard

  The vineyard of the both varieties - Tempranillo and Graciano- is between 30-60 years old. It is located at an altitude of 500-550 meters, so it can be considered as a mountain vineyard. The predominant soil structure is formed by gravels

• Tasting

  Lacrimus apasionado shows an intense cherry colour with purple nuances. Intense aromas of pure fruit, especially red and black berries. Medium-bodied, really silky and very fresh.
