Prado Enea - Caja de Madera Red wine

Prado Enea grapes are always the last to be harvested. It is a careful selection of plots at altitude with high quality grapes, located in the northwest of La Rioja Alta, in the municipalities of Sajazarra, Cellorigo and Fonzaleche. The grapes ferment in oak vats. The maceration period is between 14 – 16 days, followed by a minimum of 36 months in French and American oak barrels, to add complexity. At the end of the ageing period, the wine is lightly clarified with fresh egg whites before being bottled and kept in our cellar for at least another 36 months, in order to complete the ageing process providing elegance

Prado Enea Gran Reserva 2016 shows a cherry red colour, with a medium layer. On the nose it shows an elegant set of berries (blackberry, blackberry) with spices such as cinnamon and cloves. The entry is silky, with a medium volume and a very long and pleasant palate. We find velvety tannins in perfect harmony with its fresh and perfectly integrated acidity. We also find creamy, vanilla notes mixed with fresh fruit.

This wine pairs well with stews, meat and cheese dishes, and can even be enjoyed on its own, without any accompaniment
