Product Description
Details
Altough it is not typically associated with La Rioja, the Grenache variety has a long history in the region. This is nicely exemplified by the red wine Gómez Cruzado Pancrudo, which shows just how good an old-vines Grenache from la Rioja can be.
One of the bottlings of the Selección Terroir collection of top-shelf wines of bodega Gómez Cruzado, this varietal Spanish red wine is sourced from a bunch of old north-oriented vineyards composed of iron-rich clay soils sitting at 650 metres of altitude, in the vicinity of Barandán, a village in Alto Najerilla.
Harvested in big boxes and sorted on arriving at the premises, the grapes were traditionally vinified in stainless steel tanks, with very gentle punch-downs not to extract too much tannin and colour.
After that, the red wine Gómez Cruzado Pancrudo 2021 completed the malo in French oak barrels (65%) and concrete eggs (35%) and was aged for a period of 12 months. Before hitting the market, this Crianza red wine was kept for some years in the cellar.
Decant this old vines Grenache 1 hour before drinking.
