Details
Lan Crianza 2022
The red wine Lan Crianza faithfully embodies the traditions of La Rioja Altaand La Rioja Alavesa.
Made essentially from Tempranillo, this Spanish red wine is complemented with a smidgen of Grenache and Mazuela (strong>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 2022 was aged for 14 months in hybrid - French and American - oak barrels.
Finally, this Crianza red wine was cellared for some months before hitting the market.
