The wine La Bicicleta Voladora is winemaker Germán R. Blanco's interesting take on the traditional Rioja village wine.
A blend of Tempranillo and Viura, this Spanish red wine is sourced from organically grown vineyards 25 to 55 years old planted in Alfaro and Alfaro i Aldeanueva de Ebro, at 350 metres of altitude.
Hand harvested and destemmed, the grapes were macerated before fermenting in concrete diposits, clay amphorae and Flextank eggs. After that, this red wine from La Rioja went through the malo in the diposits.
Finally, the red wine La Bicicleta Voladora 2023 was aged for 7 months in concrete diposits, clay amphorae and Flextank eggs.
This vegan wine from DOCa Rioja was gently clarified before being bottled.
