Why buy Red Wine Finca Los Hoyales Cruz de Alba

It is a 100% Tempranillo wine from an exemplary vintage in terms of quality and quantity. The spring was kind to the budding, which allowed us to manage the vegetation with our minds on the vines, and the summer was dry and hot with some cool nights. All this allowed us to harvest, in the second half of October, a grape that gives a lot of personality to this magnificent Finca Los Hoyales.

The harvest is done manually with bunches of grapes from the field, then destemmed and fermented in new French oak barrels. After this, the wine remains in the barrel aging for at least 22 months with the only racking of a periodic stirring. The last step is 10 months of bottling without filtering before its release to the market.

The oenologist manager of Bodegas Cruz de Alba, Sergio Ávila, talks about Finca de Los Hoyales wine as follows "We have given the wine what it has been asking for at each moment, which has been very little, while it has been working on the inside, until it has made itself".

Tasting notes. Sight, smell and taste

At first glance, we appreciate a wine of a markedly bright red color with slightly violet notes.

In the nose we speak of a fine and elegant sample of black fruit, with some final notes and memories of elegant and subtle wood of mountain.

In the mouth it shows a noble and structured character with a harmonious and mature tannin, leaving us with a sinuous wine sensation.

Pairing. How to taste it

This is an ideal wine to serve at a temperature between 16°C and 18°C, and to accompany it with cured cheeses, red and white meats, sausages and dishes with game.
