Producer Summary:Viñas Leizaola was founded in 2001 in Rioja Alavesa by Etienne Cordonnier Leizaola. El Sacramento is a single vineyard of 20ha located near Laguardia in Rioja Alavesa, which was first planted in the 17th century. Grapes are handpicked then vinified plot by plot in small concrete tanks. The wine is then aged for at least 15 months in French oak barrels.
Short Tasting Note:Notes of red and black berries balanced by elegant aromas of cigar box and graphite on the nose. Well-integrated, fine tannins, ripe fruit and balanced acidity, with flavours of cherry, plum, blackberry, followed by clove, chocolate and toasted oak adding complexity on the finish.
Long Tasting Note:Manually harvested grapes are vinified plot-by-plot, the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation in barrel and is matured for 15 months in French oak. Intense dark ruby red with notes of red and black berries, balanced by elegant aromas of cigar box and graphite on the nose. Well-integrated, fine tannins, ripe fruit and balanced acidity create a harmonious palate with flavours of cherry, plum, and blackberry followed by clove, chocolate and toasted oak, adding complexity on the finish.
