TORRE DE ONA FINCA SAN MARTIN RIOJA 750ML

Style: Red Wine Producer: Terre de Ona Grape: 100% Tempranillo Where: La Rioja Alta Country: Spain Taste: Elegant vanilla, spices, red and black plums, red cherries and a smoky touch. Very fine-grained, creamy tannins. Quite a long, pleasurable Rioja crianza that's appealing now. . About the Wine: The 2021 Finca San Mart¡n is a varietal Tempranillo from the younger vines. It fermented in stainless steel and matured in 60% American oak barrels and 40% second-use French oak barrels for 16 months, during which time it was racked three times. It's a typical modern red from Rioja Alavesa with the depth and completeness of the year. It's fleshy and fruit driven, ripe without excess at 14.5% alcohol, with very good freshness and balancing acidity, glossy tannins and a gentle mouthfeel. . About the Producer: Torre de Oña S.A. was founded in 1987 as a single estate (In the Rioja traditionally most wines are made by large shipping houses). In January 1995, this small bodega, with its 50 hectares of vineyards, was purchased by La Rioja Alta S.A. It is located at Laguardia, with the aim of making an excellent quality wine incorporating all the personality of the best vine plots in the prestigious Rioja Alavesa area.
