LAN D-12

LAN D-12 honors the Rioja tradition of selecting the finest tank for personal enjoyment. Crafted with exceptional care, this wine offers a modern take on a cherished custom while celebrating the excellence of Rioja Alta and Rioja Alavesa vineyards.

Grape Varieties:

100% Tempranillo

Vineyards:

Sourced from three standout plots—El Cementerio (Viñaspre), Los Valles (El Cortijo), and La Fonsagrada (San Vicente de la Sonsierra)—featuring vines aged 30 to 45 years.

Winemaking:

Fermented at a controlled 25°C to preserve aromatic complexity and enhance color. Micro-oxygenation and lees contact during maceration ensure balanced tannins and a velvety texture. Malolactic fermentation followed in March 2020.

Aging:

Aged for 12 months in new American oak from the Appalachians and French oak from Châteauroux and Loches. Further refined with 12 months of bottle aging to achieve its full elegance.

Tasting Notes:

Bright cherry red color with inviting aromas of licorice, ripe red fruits, and subtle dairy notes layered with hints of toffee, vanilla, cinnamon, and cocoa. On the palate, the balance between fruit and toasted nuances creates a seamless, evolving experience. Silky tannins lead to a long-lasting finish of red fruit and licorice.

LAN D-12 is perfect for pairing with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or aged cheeses, making it an exquisite choice for both casual dinners and celebratory gatherings.
