GN "[These] beautiful vineyards are situated between 300 and 600 meters of altitude. Mature plots were hand selected as both traditional and modern viticulture techniques are used. The average age of the vines are 25 years old, yielding between 45-60 hl/ha. Rioja’s small prestigious area brings with it heterogeneous soil with a balanced structure: Alluvial terrains with a harmonic composition of sand, lime and clay, rounded stones, and slightly alkaline with active limestone. Using a slow, controlled fermentation process stretched purposely over a 20 day period elicits the fruit’s alluring character and sophistication that this land has to offer. Gooseneck Vineyards’ Crianza has a deep garnet-red color with outstanding notes of oak aging, underscoring its fruity personality. Smooth and yet robust flavors are well-structured, as the mouth feel transitions into a velvety finish of elegance. Ideal to accompany all types of red meat, lamb, and game. Perfectly pairs with firm cheeses."
