The Cave of the Counter 2012 stands out as a high-quality red wine produced in the renowned Rioja Denomination of Origin by Bodega Contador. This wine is made from grape varieties such as Tempranillo and Graciano, reflecting respect for the winemaking traditions of the region. The name of the wine evokes caves where wines were historically produced in La Rioja, paying homage to the vinicultural heritage. Alcoholic fermentation occurs at controlled temperatures between 18 and 25ºC in large 10,000-liter French oak vats, followed by malolactic fermentation in new French oak barrels. Its aging lasts for 18 months, enhancing its complexity and elegance. On the palate, it reveals an exuberant and powerful wine, where ripe red and black fruit flavors perfectly integrate with notes of aging and wood. Its great balance and freshness make it an ideal choice to accompany meat dishes and cured cheeses, as well as for enjoying on special occasions.
