El Pacto Rioja De Cardenas Ojo Gallo, 2022, 750ml

Description

A red with very little depth of color, hence its name. It shows great vivacity and preserves its red tones intact, so typical of the Garnacha variety, which denotes energy and youth. It has a great shine which, together with the great intensity of the red tones, gives the glass superb luminosity. Intensely aromatic, it retains its primary aromas, despite being an aged wine. The influence of Garnacha stands out fundamentally with notes of red fruits, strawberry yogurt and light touches of lollipop. Certain fresh tones are also perceived, with balsamic, floral and citrus notes, more typical of white varieties. And in the background, creamier and more enveloping nuances appear, the result of its aging in oak vats. A crystal-clear wine that denotes freshness and a great fruity character. It is a “long drink” wine, with great fluidity throughout its entire journey in the mouth. It is accompanied by a notable acidity, yet this acidity is well incorporated into the smooth sensations and delicate texture that it offers. It forgoes the structure of red wines to reveal its entire delicateness, with a pleasant, smooth touch, mirroring a white wine. Its aftertaste is highly complex, intertwining the sensations of fruit with spicy nuances and enveloping notes provided by oak-vat aging.
