100% Tempranillo, predominately from Rioja Alavesa
In 2005, Altos Ibéricos was Familia Torres first endeavor in the Rioja region. This light, elegant and modern interpretation presents the essence of Tempranillo in all its beauty.
Dark cherry red in color, very opaque. Intense and fragrant, with exquisite raspberry jam and spicy green peppercorn aromas, as well as a pleasant note reminiscent of toasted bread. Warm on the palate, with velvety, juicy tannins well rounded by oak aging.
Fermentation is in stainless steel tanks under controlled temperature. Maceration lasts 15 days. The wine is aged for 12 months in French and American oak (partially new), then bottle-aged for 12 months before release.
