Bideona Mayela Rioja 2021 0.75L

A young, juicy and versatile red wine that has not been aged in barrel, and is a modern interpretation of the tradition of Rioja Alavesa winegrowers. It features a series of six different labels with illustrations of real growers as a tribute to their daily work. It presents clear and intense primary aromas of dark cherries and black berries with a hint of violet and clove. Medium bodied, with remarkable complexity and concentration of fruit. The quality of the fruit stands out, showing the typical character of the cooler Rioja Alavesa climate, without being overshadowed by the excessive influence of the oak barrel. Intense fruit is balanced by fresh acidity, chiseled, chalky tannins and a long metallic finish. A serious, non-barrel-aged wine will benefit from 2 to 3 years in the cellar after release and will keep for another 5 years. It goes well with grilled meats, hard cheeses, pasta and rice dishes.
