Summa Reserva 2005

Enologist: Javier Martínez de Salinas

D.O.C.
Rioja

Grapes:
Tempranillo, Mazuelo & Graciano

Ageing: Malolactic break down checked in new oak casks with subsequent ageing on the lees and regular stirring of these in the barrel. Ageing for not less than fourteen months in brand new barrels, reacked at least once. Fined with egg whites and bottled. Laid down for a minimum of 24 months in our bottle cellar.

TASTING NOTES
To the eye, its deep, dark color with bright ruby rings can be immediately appreciated. On the nose, the delicate balance between youth and ageing stands out. The wine opens up with aromas of red berries such as cherries and raspberries, cloaked in hints of smokiness and spices. As the months pass, the aromas become more complex and we anticipate a slow evolution in the bottle.

Additional Information

Bodegas Olarra is located on the outskirts of Logroño, right in the heart of the Denominación de Origen Calificada Rioja and within the prestigious Rioja Alta sub-district.

Since it was founded in 1973, Olarra has been characterized by the beauty and complexity of its facilities, known as the Cathedral of Rioja, with its unique 'Y' shaped ground plan, as well as its 111 hexagonal "egg box" domes. 
                                                                                                       
This bodega has been able to combine the most modern winemaking techniques with the traditional vinification and ageing processes of Rioja, creating wines which have been conceived according to strict quality standards.

In Olarra we believe that it is by taking perfect care of the grapes that a fine wine is made, so we supervise every detail to the maximum. In making its wines, Bodegas Olarra only uses those berries which meet a set of strict conditions. Currently, Olarra offers several labels to the market and behind each of these is a wine with its own identity. Its star wines are the red oak-aged wines.

All in all, a wide range of wines whose quality has been acknowledged in the world's most important contests.
