Ontanon Kaori Rioja Tinto

The Tempranillo grapes used to make Ontañón Kaori come entirely from a collection of plots located in the foothills of the Sierra de Yerga , in the Cidacos Valley, between Monte Gatún and Peña Isasa . The average age of the Ontañón Familia Tempranillo vineyards is around thirty years. Ontañón Kaori is aged for 12 to 15 months in medium-toasted American barrels.

Ruby red in colour with a slight iridescence. On the nose there's aromas of plum, thyme, mint, acacia, and even a hint of jasmine. Along with aromas of aging,
such as vanilla, spices like licorice and black pepper. A very fine and elegant wine, with a great retronasal aroma in which the menthol sensations reappear. Try with cured meats, East Asian dishes, sushi, grilled asparagus or cured cheese.

The Ontañón Familia winery represents the philosophy of a family that has dedicated its life to wine for four generations and represents the realization of the dream of Gabriel Pérez , a Riojan winemaker and viticulturist who, together with Mari Luz Cuevas , and with the help of his four children: Raquel, Leticia, Rubén and María, produce quality wines in their family vineyards in the DOCa Rioja, DO Rueda and DO Ribera de Duero , through Bodegas Ontañón, Queirón and Rippa Dorii . In each of their projects they apply their love for viticulture, the utmost respect for nature and the pursuit of excellence.
