Viñas Leizaola was founded in 2001 in Rioja Alavesa by Etienne Cordonnier Leizaola. El Sacramento is a single vineyard of 20ha located near Laguardia in Rioja Alavesa, which was first planted in the 17th century. Manually harvested grapes are vinified plot-by-plot, the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation in barrel and is matured for 15 months in French oak. Vivid red colour with a violet rim. Aromas of red fruit and subtle spice, the wine is fresh and balanced on the palate with flavours of cherry, raspberry and pomegranate, followed by hints of chocolate, coffee and toast. Long, elegant and balanced on the finish. Viñas Leizaola
