Tempranillo, Garnacha & Mazuelo
75cl * 14% ABV * Rioja, Spain
Founded in 1972, Bodegas Lan combines tradition with innovation to produce benchmark Rioja wines, predominantly from their ‘Viña Lanciano’ vineyard in Rioja Alta. Hand-harvested and sustainably farmed, ‘Viña Lanciano’ is one of Rioja Alta’s largest and most striking single-vineyards, encircled by a curve of the Ebro River. Head winemaker, María carefully tailors the oak ageing to each wine, working with a wide range of French, American, Pyrenean and Caucasian oak from different coopers.
This wine is intense cherry red in colour. Aromas of ripe strawberries, raspberries and cranberries are complemented by hints of liquorice, vanilla and cinnamon. On the palate, the wine is full bodied with silky tannins and a bright acidity which carries the aromas onto the lingering finish.
