Hacienda El Ternero Reserva

Winery: Hacienda El Ternero
Region: Rioja

Red Wine

Variety: 100% Tempranillo

Details
Vineyards: 60 ha. Our own vineyard surrounding the wine cellar.

Aging: After the harvesting by hand, the maceration for this wine usually takes about 15 to 20 days.

After that time, 60% of the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation in new French oak barrels, while the remaining 40% is put into second year barrels.

After the malolactic fermentation, we age the wine in the same barrels for a minimum of 18 months.

Tasting Notes
Cherry red color and an aromatic component featuring the predominant flavor of forest fruits such as blackberries and blueberries. This is all married with the spicy and vanilla aromas it obtains from its time in the barrel.

On the palate it is fresh and rounded, with background flavors of black fruits and scrubland spices.
