Rich wood aging of the Luis Canas Rioja Reserva

Luis Cañas, a prestigious winery in the Rioja Alavesa region, is an icon in the northern Spanish Rioja wine world. The roots of this winery date back to the late 18th century, when the Cañas family began their winemaking tradition in this region. In 1928, Luis Cañas took a significant step by bottling his own wine, marking the transition from grape supplier to wine producer. Under his inspiring leadership, the winery dedicated itself to creating high-quality, mature wines. The production process is meticulous: rigorous grape selection ensures that only the finest bunches are used. After destemming, the grapes are fermented at controlled temperatures, giving the wine its characteristic aromas and flavors. The wine is then aged for 18 months in oak barrels. The combination of 60% French and 40% American oak, both two years old, gives the wine its unique complexity and depth.
