Winemaking notes

Traditional method of carbonic maceration which implies the transformation of the grape into wine without prior crushing. The bunches os grapes are put into stainless steel containers whole, with the greatest of care being taken no to burst the fruit. Maceration took place eight to ten days, fermenting at a controlled temperature of 28º C.

Tasting notes

It is wine with a cherry-red colour and sparkling aspect, with purplish edges. Very covered. In the nose there are aromas of forest fruit (blackberry, raspberry) and florar tones, with a hint of liquorice. Very aromatic. In the mouth it is full and powerful, meaty; well-balanced mouth-feel with a fruit sensation. Pleasant finish, with a mellow bitterness which lengthens the finish. Remmants of red fruits in the retronasal olfaction give it a refreshing and lively tone, tempting to try.

Red meats, game, stews, rice dishes, mushrooms, blue fish and cured cheeses.

Luberri is a life project with which we express a genuine way of understanding wine: adding up tradition and modernity, with a deep knowledge of their land, Rioja Alavesa, and its fruit, the Tempranillo grape native to the region. Balanced and elegant, with body and color, it is critical to get that fruit that young wines have. On the other hand, it is optimal for aging.

The cellar was founded in 1991 and since then it has been enlarging its estate, upgrading its winemaking and aging facilities, and increasing experience and knowledge. On this track, the proximity to consumers is as important as the straight contact with the land. Undestanding what they think and what they look for in wine allows producing a unique product.

Honesty is a foundation value for Luberri. The cellar's personality is passionate and direct, idealistic and practical. Able of dreaming great wines and to unit all elements necessary to make them. The vineyard, a nature-friendly viticulture, the instinct to know when to harvest, the well-established methods of production, the barrel aging. These all results in a range of reds wines with great fineness and a powerful structure. With something special, a delicate aroma that is deep and full of nuances. These are wines to understand a country, an environment, a world. Wines for pleasure.
