Viña Dorana Reserva 2017
Descrição
Este é um grande relançamento da Gómez Cruzado, uma adega histórica do Barrio de la Estación, em Haro. Este vinho é o sucessor do Gómez Cruzado Reserva, que agora toma zonas de proveniência de uvas mais frias para conseguir a frescura e a delicadeza que esta referência tinha há décadas.

The 2017 Viña Dorana replaces the Reserva, and it's a commitment to the Alto Najerilla vineyards, with a blend of 60% Tempranillo and 40% Garnacha. They believe the Alto Najerilla is one of the freshest places in Rioja, with the ability to produce sapid and sharp wines. They handled the élevage so that the barrels are in the background and the fruit at the forefront. Despite the very challenging year, the wine shows very well, with 14% alcohol and good freshness and balance. It has a supple, medium-bodied palate with very fine tannins and faint earthiness. It matured in French barrique for two years, followed by one more year in tank. 37,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in January 2022.
"The idea is freshness," was ex-winemaker David González's description of this 60/40 blend of Tempranillo and Garnacha from 21 north-facing vineyards in the Alto Najerilla. Showing some ferrous grip from iron-rich soils, this is tangy, focused, vertical and very lightly wooded, with the acidity, minerality and structure to age. 2024-29
As origens da Gómez Cruzado remontam a mais de um século. É a terceira adega fundada no mítico Barrio de la Estación em Haro e a mais pequena deste enclave; um verdadeiro clássico que se renova atualmente.
