About this product

Vega del Rayo highlights the vibrant fruit and finesse of vineyards across Rioja. Production Grapes are harvested from 15–20-year-old vines throughout September and early October. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at 25–30°C with twice-daily pumpovers. After 12 days on the skins, the wine is gently pressed and undergoes malolactic fermentation in stainless steel. It is then matured for 6–8 months in a blend of American and French oak barrels to integrate subtle spice and texture. Tasting notes Aromas of ripe plum and cherry.
