Description

Marques de Tomares Cohiba Atmosphere Gran Reserva 2015

Gran Reserva red wine that combines both the tradition and elegance of Marqués de Tomares winemaking.

Grape Varietals & Region: 90% Tempranillo, 5% Graciano, 2% Garnacha & 3% Viura, from La Padul parcela 667 vineyards planted between 1920 - 1960. Clayey calcareous, ferrous, alluvial soil, at an altitude of 700metres.

Taste Profile: It has a creamy red fruit on palate with moderate acid, and good grip. The tannins are rustic but clearly polished by time in the bottle. This is a really good, complex bottle of Gran Riserva Rioja.

Winemaking Process: 100% Destemmed grapes, fermentation under controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks. Aged for 30 months in French and American oak barrels, followed by 36 months in bottle

Shouldered & Powerful Reds

Powerful modern reds with the ability to age. They tend to be very intense, with ripe fruit, firm tannins & drinkability either young or cellared.

They often have notes of forest floor, blackcurrant, mint & eucalyptus

Malolactic fermentation

MLF is a process that results in reduction in acidity & the production of buttery texture & taste profile, often applied to more bodied styles of red & white wines
While not all creamy whites or rich fruity reds undergo MLF, and can adopt similar profiles from barrel ageing,
