{"product_id":"gomez-cruzado-montes-obarenes-espagne","title":"Gómez Cruzado - Montes Obarenes - 2021","description":"\u003cp\u003eOriginating from the cool slopes of Rioja Alta, Montes Obarenes draws its grapes from vineyards located around Haro, in the northern part of the Rioja appellation. The vines, planted at altitude on predominantly limestone and clay-limestone soils, benefit from the combined influence of the Atlantic Ocean and the mountains. This terroir, cooler than the region average, allows for slow ripening and a beautiful natural tension, resulting in a precise, structured white wine marked by a strong mineral character typical of this area of ​​Rioja.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Viura (predominant) and Tempranillo Blanco grapes come from old, high-altitude vines in the Montes Obarenes area, hand-harvested into small crates. After gentle pressing, the must ferments slowly in French oak barrels and large casks, where the wine is then aged on its fine lees for approximately 5 to 6 months, with periodic stirring, before further aging in the bottle to preserve the freshness, aromatic complexity, and silky texture characteristic of this terroir-driven white wine.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis wine reveals notes of \u003cstrong\u003eripe stone fruit\u003c\/strong\u003e , \u003cstrong\u003epear\u003c\/strong\u003e , and \u003cstrong\u003ecitrus\u003c\/strong\u003e , complemented by \u003cstrong\u003edelicate floral\u003c\/strong\u003e touches and hints of \u003cstrong\u003esweet spice\u003c\/strong\u003e from aging. \u003cstrong\u003eSmoky\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003etoasty\u003c\/strong\u003e nuances, along with a \u003cstrong\u003echalky minerality\u003c\/strong\u003e , add complexity and depth.
