AZABACHE
Azabache Tunante Tempranillo Rioja 2023
Fincas de Azabache have made a fresher style Rioja, made exclusively from 30 year old Tempranillo grapes, that is unoaked showing off the vibrant qualities of the grape. Introducing itself with powerful aromas of wild fruits such as blackberry, raspberry and blackcurrant. This plummy, soft seductive wine exhibits typical Tempranillo character of red fruits such as cherry, raspberry and plum with notes of liquorice. An intense and outstanding wine with good structure and balance of acidity and intensity, finishing with soft and round lingering notes of black fruit.
Region
The region of La Rioja lends its name to Spain`s most widely recognised wines.
Rioja is split by three major districts; Alta and Alavesa to the north, which are
higher in altitude and the hot dry Oriental district to the south (previously known
as Rioja Baja). Tempranillo, Garnacha, Graciano and Mazuelo are the main red
grape varieties used however more international varieties can also be used. The
traditional aging classification system gives Rioja wines their distinctive style
through the influence of extended ageing in oak barrels.
Producer
Fincas de Azabache is a state of the art cooperative, founded in December
1956. The Bodegas now owns 2600 hectares of vineyards at the foot of Mount
Yerga, which is at the heart of the driest sub region of Rioja; "Oriental",
previously Rioja Baja. With limited risk of rot, this is an area conducive to the
principles of organic viticulture, to which the Bodegas is firmly and successfully
committed. The cooperative have recently invested heavily in a new winery, the
fruits of which we are now seeing.
