Heras Cordón Reserva

Heras Cordón Reserva is a red wine coupage where the Tempranillo variety predominates , accompanied by a small percentage of the Mazuelo and Graciano varieties , produced by Bodegas y Viñedos Heras Cordón , under the DOCa. Rioja in Spain .

Heras Cordón Reserva is made with bunches which come from plots located in La Rioja Alavesa and La Rioja Alta, located between 550 and 405 meters above sea level, which have very stony soils composed of clay and limestone. The Tempranillo vineyards are 46 years old, while the Mazuelo vineyards are 35 years old and the Graciano vineyards are 31 years old.

The grapes are selected and harvested by hand. On reaching the winery, they’re vatted in stainless steel tanks where they ferment with their native yeasts at a temperature of 30ºC, with periodic pump-overs.

The resulting wine carries out malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks and then undergoes an 18-month aging process in French and American oak barrels.

Heras Cordón Reserva is an intense, elegant and fruity red wine, which shows the personality and essence of two great wine sub-areas of Rioja, product of the hard work of a family winery with a centuries-old tradition like Heras Cordón .
