The flagship Vino de Municipio from the Familia Torres project in Rioja Alavesa, established in 2007, is a 100% Tempranillo from bush vines grown at 450m-650m in various sites in the Labastida area, on terraces and slopes of brown limestone, marl, chalk and sandstone. After fermentation in stainless steel tanks, the wine matures for nine and a half months in barriques mostly of French oak, with 3% American and 8.5% from Eastern Europe. Alluring smoky depth on the nose with tobacco leaves, Earl Grey, coffee beans, wet leaves against a juicy backdrop of plum, pomegranate and red apple. The palate follows with fluidity but also unctuous, moreish black olive tapenade and walnut pesto. Long, savoury finish with a touch of sweet spice.
