Lorinon Crianza Tinto 2015
Tempranillo (Tinta-del Pais, de Toro, Roriz, Tinto Fino) | Spain
Tempranillo aged 14 months in American oak, with partial malolactic in new French oak. Spice and leather complement the deep blackberry fruit and ferrous minerality of Rioja's red soils. Mouth-filling yet fresh, with the structure for improving in bottle for a number of years.
The Winemaker - In 2013 Bodegas Breton and the Lorinon brand were acquired by the Montaña family and its winemaking entity, Union de Viticultores Riojanos. UVR comprises over 350 hectares of mature to ancient vines that are either owned or under continuous contract throughout the Rioja Alta and Alavesa regions. Lorinon Crianza is almost entirely composed of old-vine Tempranillo, aged 14 months in a mixture of used American and French oak.
