2017 LUIS CANAS CRIANZA, RIOJA SPAIN

Luis Cañas Crianza Red Wine is not the typical standard wine in the catalogue of the established Rioja wineries. Luis Cañas goes in another direction. This family makes the same efforts producing the wine as the ones constructing the very top of the pyramid. It is one of the scarce Rioja wineries with a great selection of enviable quality wines characterized by little difference between the extremes in its catalogue.

The red wine proceeds from approximately 30-year old vineyards of clayey and clayey-calcareous lands which spread over the typical Rioja Alavesa terraces, those characterised as being not very fertile with little productivity of 4500kg of clusters per hectare. Those are vineyards situated at 400-700 metres of altitude, located in Villabuena, Samaniego, Leza, Navaridas and Baños de Ebro.
