Bodega Hermanos Pecina Rioja Crianza 2014 Magnum

Grape: Tempranillo, Garnacha, Graciano
Vintage: 2014
Type: Red

This red wine co-ferments tempranillo, garnacha, and graciano from old estate vineyards in San Vicente de la Sonsierra, presented in a magnum format for slow development. The winemaking follows traditional Rioja protocols, featuring spontaneous fermentation with native vineyard yeasts in neutral tanks. The wine ages for two full years in neutral American oak barrels, undergoing natural manual rackings every six months without filtration or chemical adjustments. This low-intervention process captures a classic and age-worthy regional profile.

It pours a deep cherry-red color with garnet edges, opening with aromas of dried cherries, plum, vanilla, and cedar shavings. A smooth, medium-bodied frame pairs mature red fruit flavors with a chiseled, mineral-driven line. Fine-grained, soft tannins provide a smooth structural grip that coordinates nicely with the fruit without feeling heavy. A clean wave of natural acidity runs through the mid-palate, keeping the fluid mouthfeel refreshed. It finishes dry, leaving a savory trace.
