{"product_id":"valenciso-rioja-reserva-2015","title":"Valenciso Rioja Reserva 2015","description":"\u003cp\u003eValenciso Rioja Reserva is the estate's flagship red, a Tempranillo selection from organically farmed old vines around Haro.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eValenciso works within a five-kilometre radius of its winery, drawing this wine from twenty-nine plots on the clay and limestone soils of Villalba, Rodezno, Briones, Haro and Ollauri. These fall within what Alberto Gil and Antonio Remesal Villar have proposed as the western Sonsierra zone; Ollauri in particular is noted for calcareous soils, altitudes reaching 600 metres and an Atlantic-influenced climate. Every vine is managed organically and cropped well below the regional limits, and the youngest fruit that makes the cut comes from sixty-year-old vines. Fermentation is natural, in cement vats. Ageing runs nineteen months in mostly low-toast Radoux French oak barriques, with about ten per cent in low-toast Caucasus oak in recent releases, reducing an already light wood influence further. The wine then returns to concrete for a further twenty-four months to settle, and it is bottled unfined and unfiltered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReady on release and capable of another ten to fifteen years; serve at 16-17°C with roast lamb, braised oxtail or an aged sheep's cheese.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e*Every effort is made to ensure the current vintage is accurate; however, variations can occur.
