Bodegas Familia Chavarri Ribera del Duero Valle de Orón 2020
From its very beginnings, the Chávarri family has always been involved with the land and wine. Four generations of winegrowers have loved and respected the land of their ancestors. Founder Francisco Chávarri was an enterprising man with a great entrepreneurial vision. This led him to establish himself as a winemaker and to acquire the first number on the Rioja Alavesa Bottling Register. Today the family owns properties and bottles wines in Rioja, Ribera del Duero, Rías Baixas an Rueda.
The color is a beautiful, deep cherry red denoting its youth. Typical Tempranillo from Ribera del Duero varietal aromas of red and dark fruit (strawberries and blackberries) and spice. Additional notes of black liquorice. Round in the mouth, with tannins that give it structure and strength. Tasty with ripe fruit, spice, toast and ripe tannins. A big, silky wine with a long aftertaste.
Made with grapes from their estate vineyards in San Martín de Rubiales. Harvested in the first half of October at their optimum ripeness. Fermentation in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 25 ºC after three days maceration at 12 ºC in order to extract their full potential and varietal expression.
