Tasting notes
La Nieta, crafted by Bodegas Viñedos de Páganos, is a commanding red wine from the Rioja region of Spain. The 2006 vintage stands out, showcasing its full potential for aging. It's a wine that respects Rioja’s traditions while bringing a modern touch.
In Volume 37, Bianca's father introduced this wine to Shizuku. It was set against the backdrop of Park Güell on the outskirts of Barcelona. This place, where Gaudí’s art merges with nature, mirrors the wine's essence—a sunset view captured in a glass. As you sip it, you're enveloped by the sensation of gazing at that panoramic scene.
Pour it into a glass, and you're greeted by a deep garnet hue. The aroma is complex, with rich notes of black cherry and dried plum, complemented by a subtle spiciness that intrigues the senses. On the palate, it offers a powerful attack, with ripe dark fruit sweetness. The acidity is smooth, and the tannins are velvety, providing a luxurious mouthfeel.
The finish is long and warmly comforting. Overall, the wine’s concentrated fruitiness and elegant balance make it intriguing with every sip. Enjoying it at room temperature will further enhance its profound allure.
