2020 Bodegas Tierra La Greña Malvasia Rioja
£39.00
“There are only 620 vines in this small 1910 vineyard of Malvasía Blanca, but what a wine they produce. Fermented and aged in 500-liter barrels for a year, this has lots of presence, depth and dry extract, honey, pear and grapefruit flavors and gentle spices.”

Product Description
A unique and surprising example of Malvasía that displays great concentration and aromatic complexity , and perfect balance thanks to its optimal acidity . Made from grapes from a vineyard over 100 years old and aged in oak for 12 months , this single-varietal wine offers aromas ranging from fresh citrus to smoky and sweet spice notes. A very limited-production white wine.
‘La Greña’ Rioja Blanco Bodegas Tierra is produced exclusively with Malvasia Riojana grapes from the Pago de Cuba Negra vineyard, planted in 1910 in the territory of Labastida, in Rioja Alavesa. The harvest is carried out by hand in crates, and the clusters are then destemmed followed by 24 hours of pre-fermentation maceration. This is followed by gentle pressing, with the resulting must conveyed into largeAustrian oak barrels for alcoholic fermentation and the subsequent aging period of 12 months, of which 6 are spent on the lees.
