The 2014 Vi\u00f1a Leizaola El Sacramento comes from a historic vineyard in Rioja Alavesa and is one of the region\u2019s most distinctive terroir wines. The combination of old vines, limestone-rich soils, and a meticulous winemaking process results in a Rioja with exceptional elegance and depth.<\/p>\n
The 2014 vintage produced grapes of excellent quality, with a beautiful balance between ripe fruit, fresh acidity, and refined tannins. After aging in French oak barrels, the wine develops a complex aromatic profile and a long, mineral finish.<\/p>\n
The wine opens with aromas of black cherries, red plums, cassis, violets, cedarwood, tobacco, cocoa, Mediterranean herbs, and delicate spices. On the palate, it is elegant and powerful, with silky-smooth tannins, lively freshness, and a long, mineral finish.<\/p>\n
Serve at 16\u201318\u00b0C and decant the wine about one hour in advance. Delicious with grilled beef, lamb, game, Iberian pork, mushrooms, and aged Manchego.<\/p>\n
