FINCA LA ORACIÓN 2022

Description

Finca La Oración 2022 is the most unique wine from Hacienda Grimón, the family winery founded in 1999 by Paco Oliván in Ventas Blancas, La Rioja, at 650 meters of altitude. A project with an ecological soul and generational roots that is carried out today by his daughters Alba (winemaker) and Sara (salesman).

Made with 100% Tempranillo grapes from their own plot of 38 hectares cultivated without herbicides or poisons, with completely manual and selective harvesting at the optimal moment of ripeness, limiting production to 5,500 kg/ha to maximize the quality of the fruit.

The production of Finca La Oración is unique and artisanal: the wine is born from the natural draining of the pomace during the night—the so-called tear or essence of the wine—the first must obtained before pressing the grapes. This tear goes directly into new barrels where it undergoes malolactic fermentation in American (50%) and French (50%) oak. Subsequently, the wine ages 7 months in second-year barrels, is bottled with natural clarification and rests for a year and a half before going on the market.

cherry red in color, young with a medium-high layer. On the nose, in the still glass, the wine gives off aromas of ripe black fruits and exotic spices. In the mouth it is silky and velvety, marked by ripe fruit with a hint of citrus; The tannins are in perfect balance with the fruit and the roasted ingredients, with a warm but at the same time fresh aftertaste thanks to its good acidity.

Ideal for roasted red meats, game, stews, cured cheeses and Iberian sausages. Service temperature: 14-16°C.
