The 2017 Viña Leizaola El Sacramento comes from a historic vineyard in Rioja Alavesa and perfectly reflects the unique terroir of this renowned wine region. Old vines growing in limestone-rich soils produce grapes with great concentration, finesse, and minerality. Despite the challenging conditions of 2017, the low yield resulted in a wine of exceptional intensity and elegance.
After aging in French oak barrels, the wine develops a complex aromatic profile featuring ripe fruit, refined spice, and a long, mineral finish. The combination of terroir, craftsmanship, and limited yields makes this wine particularly popular among lovers of classic Rioja.
The wine opens with aromas of black cherries, cassis, red plums, violets, cedar, tobacco, cocoa, Mediterranean herbs, and delicate spices. On the palate, it is powerful and elegant, with silky-smooth tannins, lively acidity, and a long, mineral finish.
Serve at 16–18°C and decant the wine about one hour in advance. Delicious with grilled beef, lamb, game, Iberian pork, mushrooms, and aged Manchego.
The 2017 Viña Leizaola El Sacramento has an aging potential of twenty to twenty-five years.
