Description
The Finca Senda de la Traición vineyard was planted in 1940 on alluvial soils in the village of Laguardia. An 85/15 blend of Tempranillo and Malvasia Riojana, the wine was fermented whole cluster in open-top barrels with carbonic maceration, then aged in barrel for over one year. Deep, brooding ruby red in the glass, this wine displays a mélange of wild berry fruit tinged with warm spice on the nose. The palate is round and supple offering a lush concentration of pure fruit flavor. There is a beautiful interplay of bright, yet delicate acidity and soft, velvety tannins that lead to a seemingly endless finish. Incredible right out of the bottle, it only gets better as it develops in the glass. A wonderful pairing would be grilled lamb chops served with garlic rosemary mashed potatoes, though you can pair this phenomenal Rioja with any red meat dishes without worry.
