Rosario Vera Rioja 2021
Gil Family Estates was founded in 1916 and owns 4,364 acres of vineyards throughout their eleven wineries located across ten different D.O.s, Protected Designations of Origin, in Spain. Each winery has its own personality, perfectly defined but working in excellent unity with the rest. Gil Family Estates has unwavering focus on indigenous terroir-driven wines of outstanding value.
Founded in 2016, Rosario Vera is the newest winery from Gil Family Estates. Named after the 4th generation’s mother, the winery is a testament to the role she played in the continuity of the family business. It is located in the town of Laguardia in the D.O.Ca. of Rioja, Spain. The Rioja Alavesa area was chosen because of its proximity to the Sierra de Cantabria. The mountainous alignment isolates La Rioja from maritime influence.
Rosario Vera’s vineyards consist of small plots, planted 15 to 60 years ago. Calcareous clay soils, the climate, as well as high altitude, make a perfect place to grow vines and obtain high quality grapes.
Deep purple and perfectly balanced between maturity and freshness. On the palate it is initially juicy, with layers of black licorice, cherry, plum jam, toast, oak and cedar. Supple texture with a lingering and pleasant finish.
