Manual harvest for Luis Canas Rioja Seleccion de la Familia Reserva

Luis Cañas Rioja Seleccion de la Familia Reserva is made with carefully selected grapes from old vines with specific characteristics, such as favorable sun exposure and poor soil that results in low yields. These vineyards have an impressive average age of over 53 years, which contributes to the quality of the grapes. The ripe grapes are harvested entirely by hand, carefully placed in plastic crates. They then undergo a double selection on a sorting table, where both the bunches and the individual berries are inspected to ensure the highest quality. The grapes undergo malolactic fermentation in new barrels, using a combination of 50% French oak and 50% American oak. The wine is then aged for 20 months, with 20% of the barrels being second-use. This extended aging process contributes to the complexity and structure of Luis Cañas Rioja Seleccion de la Familia Reserva, resulting in a wine of exceptional depth and character.
