Luis Alegre Rioja Parcela No 5 2011

Parcela Nº 5 is an ecological red wine from La Rioja produced by Bodegas Luis Alegre. This is a single varietal Tempranillo, a classic variety of the region. The grapes come from vines over 45 years old located in the Rihondillo Villa, in the Natural Park of Las Lagunas de Laguardia. For the cultivation of the vineyards, no synthetic chemicals are used, the soils are limestone and stony, encouraging the grapes to grow with a great personality.

An excellent vintage in Rioja. With a mild autumn, and a cold and rainy winter, the growth season began with enough resources for the perfect development of the vines. During this period, there were no pests and diseases until the end of the growth cycle. During the harvest, there were no significant rains, so the health and ripening of the grapes were excellent. A great year with great aged wines that can be stored for a long time. Perfect balance between the most amiable tannins and the good acidity, which give these wines an extraordinary length.
