Intense aromas of red fruit and hints of black berries, the palate is long, rounded and well-balanced.

Producer Information

Felix Solis – Pagos Del Rey, La Rioja: Opened in 2006, the winery is one of the largest in La Rioja. It is located next to an ancient river bed and from it you enjoy views of the mountains in Rioja Alavesa. It combines tradition with modern architecture. Huge chimneys and steel covers resemble a vessel that dominates the landscape. A fir-wood baseboard embellishes the barrel cellar.

The statue of a lady harvester carrying a basket of grapes on her head stands proudly at the entrance of the Pagos del Rey winery. This statue is a symbol of the long lasting wine making tradition in the region. The Solís family is associated to more than 1,000 family-owned vine growers that cover around 2,500 hectares across La Rioja.

Wine Making

The grapes are carefully selected and lightly crushed and cooled to allow for a period of maceration (48-72 hours) where the juice and the skins are in contact. Fermentation in stainless steel tanks takes place at controlled temperature between 21-23 °C.

Tasting Note

Intense aromas of red fruit and hints of black berries, the palate is long, rounded and well-balanced.
