Bodegas Artadi Viñas de Gain Crianza (75cl)

Bodegas Artadi Viñas de Gain Crianza is a red wine from Álava in Rioja, Spain, made entirely from Tempranillo. It is bottled in a 750ml bottle, with ABV typically ranging from 13% to 14.5% depending on vintage. It is a blend from approximately 20 organically farmed vineyards planted at various altitudes. Fermentation takes place in oak and stainless steel vats, followed by malolactic fermentation in barrel and an eight-month élevage in oak. The nose shows fresh blackberries, dark cherries, violets and iodine-tinged minerality, with cigarette smoke and peppery spice. The palate has sweet cherry and dark berry fruit, fine-grained chocolaty tannins and bright acidity, with a lengthy, chewy finish.
