Pago Malarina Rioja

Bright cherry red colour with purple hues. On the nose, the wine is youthful, clean, open with predominant aromas of fresh juicy fruit, especially red berries. A touch of vanilla is evident from time in oak. On the palate the wine is full, revealing fine balance. The finish is rich and long with admirable persistence.

The perfect accompaniment to grilled sea bream and lamb chops grilled over vine shoots.

Pago Malarina is one of the most renowned vineyards of the family San Pedro, located very close to Laguardia. It has 8 ha and is planted with 23 year old Tempranillo vines.

The name “Pago Malarina” has been chosen for the young wine, 100% Tempranillo, of the Vallobera range, as it is produced from grapes coming from this vineyard. This wine is made with 100% Tempranillo grapes coming from the 23 year old family-owned vineyard “Pago Malarina”, located close to the Medieval village Laguardia, in the heart of Rioja Alavesa. The harvest started in the first 10 days of October.

After fermentation the wine was aged in new American oak barrels for 5 months and 2 months in the bottle before release.
