LET´S TASTE OUR NEW RELEASE, WHITE VIÑAS VIEJAS 2019

Just a few days ago we have finished the grape harvest in Rioja Alavesa, and for our family, this year has been the first one without the company of Luis, «the boss», who left us last December to his 91 harvests.
In spite of this absence, his legacy is very present among us and we believe that we must maintain good habits, because with them we will keep alive his essence.Without a doubt, the daily custom that grandfather Luis had to drink in the cellar a glass of white wine with some olives at 13h30, inspires us today to continue investigating the potential of the white grapes of Rioja alavesa.
That is why our new wine has just been released: LUIS CAÑAS BLANCO «VIÑAS VIEJAS» 2019.

Viñas Viejas 2019 is a «local wine», produced entirely with «Km 0 grapes», planted more than 50 years ago in Rioja alavesa.
This white wine blends the varieties Viura and Rojal (also called Malvasía riojana), selected in the heads of old vineyards located in the towns of Villabuena (where the winery is located), Leza, and Navaridas. A wine that speaks about the terroir that explores its roots and a acts as speaker for generations of artisans who pamper the countryside and keep alive the long-lived vines that make up the landscape of its region, Rioja de Alavesa.
It matures in the cellar with its lees for 5 months, under the watchful eye of our winemakers, who make periodic bâtonnages to achieve a structured and rich wine.
As a result, we obtain a fresh, expressive and complex white (with nerve, as was the grandfather Luis), very gastronomic and versatile in terms of pairing, which we hope you enjoy as much as we have done throughout the process of its elaboration.

If you want to try it, it is now available in our store. E-mail or call us for further information info@luiscanas.com  – 0034 945 62 33 73.
