Suzzane

Red Wine

Variety: 100% Garnacha

About
Suzzane expresses perfectly the characteristics that Garnacha offers us in Riojan soils. Moreover does it reflect the respect we have for the old vineyards of the region.

Vineyard
A vineyard of 3ha located in Cárdenas (Rioja Alta) at 580 meters altitude, dating back to 1903. It has an iron-rich clay soil with over 10% of rocks and gives low yields of 2000 kg per hectare. The various parcels this vineyard is comprised of show small differences which add to the complexity of the wine.

Winemaking
Fermentation takes place in 500 liter used French oak barrels and concrete egg, using indigenous yeasts. The wine ages for approximately 12 months in 500 liter French oak barrels and concrete egg.

Character
Suzzane is a very elegant wine. The seductive velvet texture is balanced by juicy acidity and softly gripping tannins. Aromas of black berry and black cherry, sweet spicy flavors such as cinnamon and cacao, tobacco and floral notes (violet, lavender). All leading to a concentrated and complex aftertaste.

What’s in a name
Suzzane refers to Leonard Cohen’s song Suzanne and is an ode to women. Elegance is key in this wine.
