EL SACRAMENTO: The Pinnacle of Rioja Alavesa Terroir
EL SACRAMENTO is a statement wine-a single-vineyard masterpiece from the prestigious Viñas Leizaola estate. Hailing from the high-altitude, clay-limestone slopes of Rioja Alavesa, this luxury red is crafted in a ‘Château style,’ focusing on complexity, elegance, and age-worthiness. It represents the purest expression of elite Spanish Tempranillo and Graciano, designed for the discerning collector and fine dining enthusiast.
Tasting Profile
- Color: Deep, vivid garnet red with a rich, concentrated core.
- Nose: An intense bouquet of ripe black fruit (blackberry, black plum) layered with vanilla, toasted oak, tobacco, and exotic spices like clove and black pepper. Mineral and earthy notes provide a sophisticated depth.
- Palate: Full-bodied and authoritative, yet surprisingly fresh due to the vineyard’s altitude. It delivers a powerful but elegant structure with fine, silky tannins and a long, persistent finish. Notes of dark chocolate and fresh red cherry emerge, balancing the savory, oak-driven characteristics.
Pairing & Service
This wine demands a prominent place at the table. Decant for one hour and serve at 62-64°F (16-17°C). It is the perfect match for high-end smoked meats, rich stews, or a selection of aged Spanish cheeses like Manchego Gran Reserva.
