Varietales Maturana
A hidden gem, a grape of surprising elegance
Varieties
Maturana Tinta
Vineyard
Made from the recently rediscovered Maturana Tinta grape variety, grown in two of our vineyards in Rioja Oriental, Finca Los Almendros in Ausejo and Monte Araoz estate in Mendavia. The Mediterranean climate and alluvial calcareous soils are ideal to grow this indigenous and hidden gem.
Vinification and ageing
After vinification, we carefully age this wine in French-oak barrels selected from the best coopers, performing daily tastings and measurements during a 12-month period.
Colour
Deep purple colour with good robe.
Aroma
Fruit compote nose with a presence of balsamic aromas, mint and cocoa, with mineral underlying mineral nuances.
Palate
Warm, with silky, velvety tannins, perfectly integrated. Full-bodied and elegant with a persistent finish.
Food pairing
Oxtail, game and braised meats are the perfect match to the opulence, body and roundness which are distinct to the Maturana grape.
