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:Subtle aromas of melon, ripe pear and white flowers are complimented by elegant notes of spice and toast. The palate is well-rounded, with a medium body and flavours of honey, peach, citrus fruit and a minerality adding complexity on the finish.
