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.
VINTAGE: The 2018 vintage year takes us back to La Rioja of old, with heavy frosts throughout winter, snow and abundant precipitation. Spring was also cold and wet followed by a warm summer but without excessive temperatures and resulting in good ripening of the grapes.
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.
