Edulis Rioja Crianza 2018 (JS 90)

James Suckling 90 points.

Edulis Crianza is a red wine from the Rioja developed by the Altanza winery. This winery, founded in 1998, is located in the town of Fuenmayor (Rioja Alta).

Edulis Crianza is made from 100% Tempranillo. The grapes come from vineyards planted at an altitude of between 380 and 500m on clay-calcareous soils and ferrous clay.

For maintenance and cultivation of vineyards, non-chemical herbicides or pesticides are used.

Edulis Crianza development is carried out using a conventional winemaking. The alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 28°C and lasts 12 to 15 days. Later maceration with the skins lasting 10 days is performed.

Finally, after a malolactic fermentation in steel tanks, Edulis Crianza is aged for 12 months in barrels of French and American oak, and a second aging in bottle for 12 months.
