Vichingo 'Peligrosso' Trousseau 2021 Rioja, Spain

Grape: Trousseau

Place: Rioja, Spain

Story: Step into the world of the unusual with the Vichingo Trousseau 'Peligroso', a novel take on Rioja's potential. Planted on shallow, sandy limestone soils in the high-altitude Elvillar, this varietal thrives, taking on a distinct character influenced by cool Atlantic winds. The wine, fermented using native yeast, reveals an amplified expression of strawberry and cherry notes, laced with an earthy spice and mineral touch. Extended skin contact deepens its vibrant ruby hue while adding structure, rounded off by balanced acidity. With a substantial structure, this Trousseau carries not just intriguing flavors, but also an impressive potential for aging. A bottle not just for the curious but for those who appreciate the less traveled path in winemaking.
