Lar de Paula Reserva Limited Edition Rioja 2015

At Bodegas Lar de Paula, located in the heart of the Rioja Alavesa, in the town of Elvillar de Álava, Fernando Meruelo transforms the most delicate Tempranillo grapes in magnificent and modern Rioja wines.

Protected to the north by the Sierra de Cantabria and bordering to the south with the fertile Ebro valley, the benign climate of this region guarantees the supply of quality fruits for some of the highest vineyards in La Rioja. Austere in style, in keeping with the surroundings, the winery itself was built with
one purpose in mind: highlight the best features of the Tempranillo grape through a process in which excellence is the main concern.

Once the selection of this 100% Tempranillo grape has been made, the grapes are destemmed, crushed and the must is fermented in stainless steel tanks with the Ganimede method, which takes advantage of the natural emission of carbon dioxide during fermentation to submerge the cap. automatically. This innovative method prevents oxidation and better preserves the color and aromas of the wine. The wine ferments between 10 and 12 days at a constant temperature of between 28 and 30 ºC.

The wine is aged in French and American oak for 18 months and then completes its aging with another 12 months in the bottle.

Elegant and tasty, with good structure and ripe, elegant tannins. With a long and complex aftertaste.
