Cemento DOCa Rioja 2021 75cl
Cemento is a unique Rioja red wine, as it contains no oak and is aged exclusively in cement vats, providing a smooth palate experience. This intriguing wine reveals youthful vibrancy and freshness, delivering an elegantly nuanced palate. The complex flavor harmonizes with blackberries, plums, and black pepper, as well as rounded tannins. The grapes were hand-harvested from several different plots in Rioja Alta, from low-yielding vines planted on clayey limestone soils. In the winery, only the finest grapes were selected and fermented with native yeasts in concrete tanks, followed by spontaneous malolactic conversion. The wine then aged for 26 months in concrete vats. This wine is neither fined nor filtered.
