Asúa Crianza 2021 6x75cl

The wine has a delicious nose of blackberries and blackcurrant , with hints of liquorice. On the palate these fruits continue with gentle tannins and good acidity.

Vineyards

Asúa is made from carefully selected, hand harvested grapes from our vineyards in Haro, Rioja Alta.

Vintage

Especially on our vineyards, 2021 has been a very irregular cycle, with a very dry summer in which the plant started suffering, but September rains were decisive for a very positive evolution. In the high and airy areas, as well as in the low and medium production vineyards, our grapes remarkably improved with the help of these rains. A perfect weather during the month of October with sunny days followed by very cold nights, led to a slow ripening. Healthy grapes, very balanced and generally with good acidity, have allowed us to produce great wines with good aging potential.

Winemaking

Alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, where the wine macerates until the desired colour and structure were achieved. The malolactic fermentation was then completed in concrete tanks, polishing the wine and fine-tuning its acidity. Ageing then took place in French and American oak barrels for 18 months after which the wine was bottled and then stored in our centenary cellars where the wine ages prior being released to the market.
