Description

La Rioja Alta Lagar de Cervera Rías Baixas is an excellent choice for those who appreciate fruitiness and a smooth taste in their wine.

This wine is characterized by its freshness and excellent structure. The aromas reveal notes of peaches, apples, quinces, yellow plums, and lemon zest. Made from carefully selected grapes, the wine unveils subtle combinations of fruit and citrus notes, which provide a pleasant and smooth taste.

Grape maceration took place at 10°C for 10 hours, allowing for the extraction of maximum flavor and aroma. Juice fermentation was carried out maintaining a temperature of 15°C, which ensures the wine's freshness and vibrancy. Partial malolactic fermentation imparted additional smoothness and a balanced taste to the wine. The wine was kept on its lees until bottling, which contributed to its complexity and rich flavor.

Residual sugar content in the wine: 2.0 g/l. Acidity level in the wine: 6.12 g/l.

Serving recommendations

Serve at 8-10 °C with light snacks, seafood, fish, salads, salad, risotto, poultry, fresh cheeses, sushi or sashimi.

About brand

Bodegas La Rioja Alta is undoubtedly a representative of old Rioja, exceptionally valuing and cultivating the region's traditional winemaking methods. Their “Gran Reserva” wine is aged for no less than six years in barrel and a further two years in bottle before reaching the consumer, embodying patience and mastery. The high-altitude vineyards of La Rioja Alta, with their unique conditions, lend a subtlety to the wines, sometimes even reminiscent of Burgundy’s ‘Pinot Noir’. While the La Rioja Alta group also includes wineries in Galicia (Rias Baixas) and Ribera del Duero (Burgos), it is their traditional Rioja style that remains their hallmark.

Wine Style

La Rioja Alta wines are characterized by elegance, complexity, and longevity. They reflect the harmony between Rioja terroir and traditional winemaking.

  • Red wines: boast intense aromas of red and dark berries, elegant spice notes, smooth yet structured tannins, and a long, pleasant finish. Extended aging in oak barrels imparts nuances of vanilla, tobacco, and leather.

Prestigious Vineyards

La Rioja Alta manages high-altitude vineyards in the Rioja Alta region:

  • Vineyards with predominantly limestone and clay soils, ideally suited for growing ‘Tempranillo’ and other traditional Rioja varieties.
  • Vineyards whose altitude above sea level and cooler conditions lead to a slower ripening of the grapes, lending freshness and elegance to the wines.

These unique vineyard characteristics and meticulous work in the vineyard are the foundation for the distinctive character of La Rioja Alta wines.

Aging and Drinking Window

La Rioja Alta wines are crafted for slow enjoyment. The long aging process in oak barrels and bottles imparts exceptional complexity and harmony. While these wines can be enjoyed in their youth, their true potential unfolds after many years of bottle aging. They are wines valued for their longevity and ability to improve over time.
