Coleccion Vivanco Parcelas de Maturana Tinta 2019

93 POINTS: Tim Atkin MW

The Colección wines from Dinastia Vivanco are limited-production wines that capture the essence of traditional Rioja grape varieties and their cultivation in extraordinary terroirs. The personality of each wine is distinguished on the label by an original piece of art from the family’s collection on display at the museum.

Maturana Tinta is a grape variety indigenous to Rioja and is not grown anywhere else in the world. It is characterised by black fruit and spice, particularly peppercorns and cloves, and undertones of earth and minerals.  It shows balsamic flavors on the long, vibrant finish. Vinified in French oak vats, the wine was transferred to new and second use French oak barrels to age for 14 months on the lees.

ABV: 14.5%
