The Cerro Añon Crianza Red Wine from Grupo Bodegas Olarra presents us with this Red Wine from D.O.Ca Rioja (Spain) made with the grape varieties Tempranillo, Graciano, and Mazuelo.

Aging

This Cerro Añon Crianza Red Wine has an aging of between 14 to 16 months in American oak barrels, which underwent periodic rackings. After being clarified and bottled, the wine remains in the bottle for a minimum of four months before being released for sale.

Production

The Red Wine comes from grapes from Rioja Alta, Media, and Rioja Alavesa, obtaining the best of each region to achieve an unparalleled blend. Once in the winery, the grapes are selected and undergo fermentation between 20 and 26 ºC to preserve varietal aromas. Daily pump-overs are also carried out during the must maceration process for 18 days. Finally, a third of the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation in new French and American oak barrels.

Bodegas Olarra

The origins of this winery come from a building, a work by Juan Antonio Ridruejo in 1973, designed and conceived for wine. The most emblematic feature is its roof that crowns the barrel room, which is formed by 11 hexagonal domes that help prevent sudden temperature changes.

This design was intended to be reflected in the wines and in the way the wines are made, as in Añares, where a wine that adapts and evolves to remain trendy over time is sought after. Becoming emblems of true Rioja wine.

For the Añares line, not only red wines are available, but also white, rosé, and special vintages. This places Bodegas Olarra as one of the emblematic wineries in the area that has remained a reference for Rioja wine, adaptable and able to withstand the test of time.
