Cantos de Valpiedra Rioja 2014
Adopting the Bordeaux Chateaux concept, Cantos de Valpiedra Rioja, is a 'second wine' of Finca Valpiedra, that offers a youthful expression of this estates top class terroir. Cantos de Valpiedra is made entirely of Tempranillo and is fermented in stainless steel tanks, before ageing for 12 months in French and American oak barrels and a further 18 months in bottle prior to release. Intense purple in colour the wine is highly aromatic with black fruit and ripe sloe notes. Intense minerality that, together with the vanilla, spice and tobacco notes from the barrel, give the wine a great character. The palate is oily, rich and intense with a sweetness right across the mouth, showing great finesse. Well-balanced acidity, with the typical “Valpiedra” freshness, the finish is long and cool with a touch of fine woods.
