Real de Asúa 2018 6x75cl

Rioja

Asúa is deep garnet in colour with bluish hints at the rim. The nose is complex and has an attr0 aromatic intensity, with notes of forest fruits and liquorice integrated with aromas of coffee, vanilla, chocolate, spices and delicate smokiness from its time in barrel. The palate is ripe and structured, with silky tannins and an unctuous texture leading to a long and fruit driven finish.

Vineyards

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

Winemaking

Following fermentation the wine was left to macerate on its skins until the desired colour and structure were achieved. The malolactic fermentation was then completed, polishing the wine and fine tuning its acidity. Ageing then took place in French and American oak barrels for 14 months after which the wine was bottled and then stored in our centenary cellars for 6 months prior to release to the market.

Enjoy with:

  • Grilled and Roasted Red Meats
  • Pizza/Pasta
  • Casseroles/Stews
  • Mild Creamy Cheeses
