Mesa Mayor Rioja Alavesa Covila
Mesa Mayor Tinto er en spansk rødvin produceret af COVILA under den strenge Denominación de Origen Calificada (DOCa) klassifikation. Vingården blev grundlagt i 1989 af et fællesskab på 64 vinbønder, som tilsammen råder over mere end 250 hektar vinmarker. I deres moderne faciliteter fremstilles en række forskellige vintyper, og vingården rummer desuden en kælder med 1.200 fade, der benyttes til modning af de Crianza- og Reserva-vine, som er særligt karakteristiske for egnen.
Vinen stammer fra Rioja Alavesa, som er den baskiske del af Rioja-regionen, beliggende nord for Ebro-floden. Dette er en af de tre officielle zoner i DOCa Rioja. Området strækker sig ved foden af Sierra de Cantabria-bjergkæden, hvor højden, de kølige nætter og de kalkholdige jorde skaber særlige betingelser for vindyrkningen. Rioja Alavesa spiller en vigtig rolle i fremstillingen af både moderne terroirvine og de mere klassiske Rioja-vine.
The history of the wine
Below, you can delve into the history of this wine — its producer, grape, area, and region.
Rioja
Rioja in Noord-Spanje is de beroemdste wijnregio van het land met een moderne wijngeschiedenis, gevormd door Franse wijnmakers in de 19e eeuw. Tempranillo is de belangrijkste druif, vaak vermengd met Garnacha, en de wijnen worden gekenmerkt door hun rijping in eikenhouten vaten, geclassificeerd als Crianza, Reserva en Gran Reserva. Het resultaat zijn zachte, rijpe rode wijnen met rode bessen, vanille, leer en kruiden.
Toen deze wijn werd gemaakt, zag de wereld er heel anders uit. Hier zijn enkele verhalen die zich ontvouwden toen deze fles rustig in de kelder rijpte.
