Finca La Reñana Tinto
Reñana is a Tempranillo, Viura and Maturana vineyard covering an area of 25 acres, situated at 2000’ altitude, on the slopes of the Toloño-Cantabria Mountain Range, between the villages of Laguardia and Elvillar. Its oldest vines date back to 1920.
Tasting Notes
An intense cherry red with touches of ruby in the glass, the nose of this wine is decidedly spicy with hints of red fruit, vanilla and cinnamon. Its outstanding complexity is derived from the use of high-quality oak. The palate is elegant and harmonious with well-integrated tannins and a lasting finish.
Vintage Notes
2019 was qualified as an excellent vintage. After a challenging growing season in 2018 with rains abound, the 2019 harvest stands out for the lower yield and very high quality of fruit. The vintage impresses with its maturity, structure, body and color.
Winemaking
The Tempranillo and Maturana Tinta grapes were hand harvested and carefully selected before fermenting at controlled temperatures for 15 days. A cold pre-maceration before fermentation was used to extract aromatics. Malolactic fermentation occurred during the wine’s maturation in French and American oak barrels for 24 months.

Publisher's Pick
Crafted from old vine Tempranillo and some Graciano, this majestic red offers up aromas of chocolate cedar and blackberry. Sultry and dusky, with firm tannins and an enthusiastic character, it’s woodsy and savory, earthy, and austere. Graphite and soy sauce flavors its rich profile with a broad and well-developed finish.95 points
