It is the result of a careful selection of grapes not from the vines but from the appropriate clusters, those that naturally produce three or less clusters and which are 60 or more years of age. Vines situated on slopes and terraces of limestone and clay soil, well exposed to the sun. These grapes are harvested in small boxes at the very best moment, then inspected on the selection table and vinified in small groups at a controlled temperature. After alcoholic fermentation they are macerated to extract their full potential. The resulting most is then settled in new French and American oak barrels to undergo malolactic fermentation. This second fermentation ensures the wine gains in complexity and aromatic intensity, it also stabilises its colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tFully ripened and concentrated fruit aromas with balsamic and spicy mineral nuances, notes of blackberry and blueberry preserve wrapped in creamy oak, caramel and milky coffee tones. The palate is concentrated, unctuous in the centre, balanced, sweet, with fine tannins. Very long finish, expressive, clearly marked with the character of the soil.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tHiru 3 racimos is a complex wine and so is its pairing with food. We must consider two options, either drink it in light sips so that the wine itself is the star of the feast, or serve with solid dishes that can match its vigour. An Iberian pork loin with roasted peppers, steak with mushrooms and plums, wild boar stew or pheasant in port are dishes that blend incredibly with this characterful wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t\"(made from tempranillo vines that are all over 60 years old; malo in new French oak followed by further aging in more new oak barrels): Inky ruby. Heady aromas of black and blue fruits, oak spices and candied flowers. Stains the palate with intense cherry compote and blueberry flavors, picking up suave floral pastille and spice nuances with air. Shows excellent clarity and power on the finish, which features deftly integrated tannins and a seductive spicecake quality. - JR\"\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cstrong\u003e- Stephen tanzer's International Wine Cellar (September 2013), 93 pts\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Luis Canas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44948803256367,"sku":"S0EE332004SRM","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/4677\/5087\/files\/LuisCana_Hiru3Racimos_label.jpg?v=1771483834","url":"https:\/\/timelesswinesdirect.com\/products\/luis-canas-rioja-hiru-3-racimos-2007","provider":"timelesswines.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
