The red wine Lan Crianza faithfully embodies the traditions of La Rioja Alta and La Rioja Alavesa.
Made essentially from Tempranillo, the 2019 vintage of this Spanish red wine is complemented with a 5% Grenache and a 2% Mazuela (aka Carignan).
The grapes are sourced from 10 to 20-year-old vineyards with clay-limestone soils located in the very heart of DOCa Rioja.
Hand-harvested, destemmed and crushed, the grapes were fermented in stainless steel tanks under controlled temperature. After that, this red wine from La Rioja was macerated for 15 days with frequent pump-overs to extract colour and tannin.
Then the red wine Lan Crianza 2019 was aged for 14 months in hybrid -French and American- oak barrels.
Finally, this Crianza red wine was further aged for 9 months in the bottle before hitting the market.
