Rolland & Galarreta Rioja

This wine forms part of the Rolland & Galarreta series, a project which sees two cultures unite, those of France and Spain, and the experience of two great names in this sector: the famous and highly regarded French oenologist and consultant Michel Rolland and the founder of Araex & Spanish Fine Wines, Javier Galarreta, one of the leading names in the business of Spanish wine exports.

For the making of this tasty Rioja, Rolland and Galarreta have counted on the vineyards and installations of Bodegas y Viñedos Labastida, in the Rioja Alavesa. A single varietal Tempranillo aged for 10 months in French oak barrels and a minimum of 4 months in bottle before being released onto the market.

A wine appearing an intensely-hued dark cherry colour, on the nose it displays wonderful vivacity and delicacy, with aromas of liquorice and fresh fruit, and other varietal notes, of spices and fruit compote. On the palate, it proves full and meaty, yet also elegant, complex and powerful. With smooth tannins, good structure and a silky, long and persistent finish.
