Description

Established in 2001, Bodegas del Medievo is an exciting new winery situated in Aldeanueva de Ebro (La Rioja) about 50 kms from Logroño, the capital of DOC Rioja. They are located in the Rioja Baja, in the southeast of the region where the climate is warmer and more Mediterranean than the Alta and Alavesa. They own 220 hectares of vineyards which include the main varieties, Tempranillo 65%, Garnacha 20%, Mazuelo 10% and Graciano 5%. Bodegas del Medievo’s objective is to produce high quality wines with a modern wine-making style thereby crafting outstanding, fruit driven wines of great elegance.

An excellent Rioja Crianza made from carefully selected Tempranillo 80%, Garnacha 10%, Mazuelo 5% and Graciano 5%. Aged 14 months in American and French oak barrels and 12 months in bottle before its release. Dark black cherry colour. Pungent, berry nose with hints of spices and oak. On the palate, the wine is full flavoured but elegant with dominant fruits of wild red, black and blue berries combined with balsamic, cedar wood and well polished soft tannins. Just the right balance of acidity and tannin on the finish to complement the fruit and give the wine ageing potential. Gorgeous length with a balsamic mineral finish.
