General Information
For the fourth red we’re presenting under our exclusive El Negociante label we’ve again gone for Rioja. El Negociante Reserva 2018 is a red based on Tempranillo (94%) enhanced with other local grapes: Maturana Tinta (2%), Garnacha (2%), Graciano (1%) and Mazuelo (1%). The wine was rounded off with a long 21 months in American (80%) and French (20%) oak.
If you buy a wine and like it, you think you’ve made a good choice, whatever firm produced it. That’s the basic idea behind El Negociante: what matters is the contents of the bottle. At Vinoselección we created this exclusive label for wines we like that firms don’t market themselves for some reason: because the vintage doesn’t meet the usual parameters, because a new winemaker establishes different guidelines…
El Negociante Reserva 2018 (D.O.Ca. Rioja) is perfect with meats such as shank of lamb or stewed ossobuco.
