Aiurri Landua 2021 is a wine proposal from Alma Carraovejas that marks the entry into Rioja Alavesa. This wine is the result of the unique expression of small plots of old vineyards located in Leza and San Vicente de la Sonsierra. 'Landua', meaning 'cultivated' in Basque, symbolizes the intimate connection between the winemaker, the landscape, and the vineyard. The 2021 vintage was characterized by ideal climatic conditions, such as a rainy winter and a mild summer, contributing to exceptional freshness and notable natural acidity. The wine comes from vines with rich genetic diversity and variety, cultivated organically, primarily featuring ancient Tempranillo vines complemented by small amounts of other native varieties. Aromatically, the wine is expressive and elegant, showcasing aromas of ripe red and black fruits, wildflowers, Mediterranean herbs, and fine spices, enriched with balsamic and mineral nuances. On the palate, Aiurri Landua 2021 stands out for its fresh and precise profile, with silky tannins, good tension, and a mineral sensation. This balance between fruit, freshness, and complexity culminates in a prolonged finish that is true to the landscape of the Sonsierra. Recommended to be served at a temperature between 14 and 16 ºC, this wine is the perfect accompaniment for roasted lamb, grilled meats, Iberian cold cuts, mountain rice, mushrooms, and aged cheeses.
