Two vineyards are planted for this red wine. The Los Molinos vineyard, which is an impressive twenty years old, produces the Graciano grapes used in this red wine. The plot is small, only seven hectares at an altitude of 380 meters. The other grape used is, of course, the Tempranillo grape from the Jose Leon vineyard. This one is an impressive 25 years old and is very small, only five hectares in size, but those vines produce a beautiful harvest. Full, thick bunches are harvested by hand and then aged for 18 months in oak barrels. Voche Rioja uses French oak because it gives the wine just that little bit more depth. After oak aging, the wine is further aged in the bottle for six months to give it all the peace and space it needs to develop.
Well, we've certainly succeeded! A Crianza that captivated us just by opening it. As soon as the cork is removed, we immediately smell an aromatic bouquet with notes of ripe fruit and spices like cloves and white pepper. On the palate, it offers beautiful, vibrant tannins with hints of oak, vanilla, spice, black fruit, chocolate, and a touch of white pepper. This wine is a celebration from start to finish, and every award it has won is more than worth it.
