Using old-vine Tempranillo and Graciano aged in new French oak and amphorae, it’s a serious, Grand Cru style Rioja.\u003cbr\u003eOur Haut-Brion-trained winemaker, Jean-Marc Sauboua, co-founded Altos in 2006 and, all together they’ve won over 300 Golds, four Trophies, plus many high scores. He works with Amaia Amestoy, who gained experience at Rioja’s iconic Marqués de Riscal and Priorat’s Alvaro Palacios before joining Altos. The wine is made from old-vine (80+ years) Tempranillo and Graciano, vinified using Burgundy’s pigeage method. This involves fermenting in open vats and plunging the skins into the liquid three times a day – hands-on winemaking that delivers great results. Long aged in half new French oak barrels, the rest in older barrels, plus 10% in amphorae, all bottled unfiltered, the wine offers seams of intense black fruit with spice-box complexity.","brand":"Direct Wines Taiwan 樂事會","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45271622615175,"sku":"3379121","price":2299.0,"currency_code":"TWD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9218\/9319\/files\/3379121.jpg?v=1788158534","url":"https:\/\/www.directwines.com.tw\/products\/altos-r-pigeage-tempranillo-rioja-2021","provider":"Direct Wines Taiwan 樂事會","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
