Full tasting note and wine making �/h2>

Luis Canas La Palacio Rioja is a field blend of grapes from a single plot in Villabuena located just in front of the cellar. is a lovely dark plum red colour. The nose is full 0f ripe concentrated fruit aromas which have a mineral touch, spice and notes of forest fruit preserve wrapped in tones of butterscotch. The palate is concentrated and buttery, well-balanced with fine tannins and well balanced acidity and it has a long and expressive finish leaving a clear impression of the mineral character of the terroir.

The harvested grapes are fermented in temperature-controlled French oak casks and macerated to extract their full potential. The resulting wine is then passed to French oak barrels where it undergoes malolactic fermentation to give it complexity and aromatic intensity while stabilising its colour. The wine is aged for a total of 15 months in new 500L French oak barrels from a selection of several top French coopers.
