Product Description
Details
Produced by Bodegas Amaren, Ángeles de Amaren is an homage to the mother of Luis Cañas, the owner of the winery ("Amaren" means "mother" in basque).
Made from a blend of Tempranillo (85%) and Graciano (15%), this Spanish red wine is produced from low-yielding, over 50-year-old estate-owned vineyards.
Harvested by hand, the grapes were brought to the cellar in little boxes and carefully selected. After that, they were destemmed and selected again.
Vinified in stainless steel tanks, Ángeles de Amaren 2018 completed malolactic fermentation and was subsequently aged in new American (35%) and French (65%) oak barrels for 14 months. Finally, the wine was blended and aged in the bottle until its commercial release.
Aerate this Crianza red wine from La Rioja 30 minutes before drinking.

Excellent value. Authentic Rioja character. Besides, the wine was released at the right moment. At 6 years of age, it is the perfect time to drink it.
