"The 2008 Crianza sees 12 months aging in French and American oak. It has a well-defined, elegant bouquet of blackberry, sage and orange zest, the latter really coming forth with aeration. The palate is well-defined with supple tannins and layers of refined red fruit that caress the mouth and lend it a smooth, velvety finish that is impossible to resist. Drink now-2018. "

Labastida is a beautiful old village in the foothills of the Sierra Cantabria in the Rioja Alavesa sub-region, northwest of the city of Haro in Spain. The altitude here is higher and the climate cooler and wetter than in the rest of Rioja, which results in wines of unusual freshness. Labastida is owned by the Union de Cosecheros de Labastida, a group of 152 independent growers. Together, they farm 1,400 acres of Tempranillo and Viura vines with an average age of over 30 years, producing red wines of spectacular power and intensity. Labastida’s highly skilled winemaker Manuel Ruiz carries on family tradition as the son of one of the foremost scholar-enologists in Rioja. While modern within, Labastida's winery is situated in the original homestead of Manuel Quintano, one of the most influential figures in Rioja winemaking. Quintano, a clergyman, arrived in Rioja in 1786 from Bordeaux, bringing with him extensive winemaking knowledge. His influence is still seen today in the winery's use of American oak barrels. Labastida wines undergo fermentation in stainless steel followed by one year in French and American oak and one year in bottle. The combination of thirty-year-old vines and meticulous winemaking create elegant Riojas with an unabashed and delicious sense of place.
