Product Description
Details
Coming from DOCa Rioja, the wine Las Salinas Beltza is arguably the most interesting product of bodega Luberri-Familia Monje Amestoy's catalogue.
This varietal Tempranillo is sorted from vines 60 years old on average, grown in several parcels which had previously been a part of a salt lake.
After a manual harvest, the grapes were selected on arriving at the cellar and transferred into French oak barrels, where this Spanish red wine went through alcoholic fermentation.
Then this red wine from La Rioja was aged for a period of 12 months. Finally, the red wine Las Salinas Beltza 2022 was kept for a further 2 months in concrete eggs to stabilize it.
Aerate this Crianza red wine some time before drinking.

Nice wine
This is a lively and stimulating wine, with deep notes of red fruit, flowers and a tangy salty note.
