Martinez Alesanco, Seleccion Reserva Rioja 2016, Spain



This is the perfect blend of the three most important varieties at Martinez Alesanco: Maturana Tinta, Tempranillo, and Garnacha Tinta. It is an unmistakable and stylish wine, where its varieties travel the roads of Badarán and the Upper Najerilla valley, giving us aromas of violet, lavender, ripe peach, and licorice.
Maturana Tinta is the predominant variety in this wine, accompanied in equal parts by Tempranillo and Garnacha Tinta, which represent the other 50%. Herbal and graphite aromas give way to a palate with firm tannins, bright acidity, and aromas of raspberry and black cherry fruit. 1571 days in French and American oak, with a special light-medium toast, and 450 days in bottle.
Sometimes you just know when things are right. Each wine in Martinez Alesan’s collection is impressive and enjoyable, and then followed by another wine equally enjoyable. Each wine has a purpose, a point of difference and a story. The brand-new tasting room has panoramic views over the red soils of the Upper Najerilla towards the Sierra Cantabria which between them largely define the microclimate and wine styles.
