In der Ausgabe 235/2018 des renommierten »The Wine Advocate« hat der
COLECCIÓN VIVANCO 4 VARIETALES 2014 von
Vivanco stolze 91+/100 Punkten von Verkoster Luis Gutiérrez erhalten. Über die
Cuvée aus der
D.O.C. Rioja, erzeugt aus den Rebsorten
Tempranillo,
Graciano,
Garnacha Tinta und
Mazuelo, schreibt er nachfolgend im Original:
„The 2014 Colección 4 Varietales is a blend of the four varieties in the Colección line, in similar proportions each vintage. This is 70% Tempranillo, 15% Graciano, 10% Garnacha and 5% Mazuelo, quite a classical blend, with perhaps a little more Graciano. Each variety fermented separately in oak vats with indigenous yeasts and moved to barrique for malolactic and 14 months of aging. It's modern and clean with moderate oak, slightly spicy with a mixture of red and black fruit. It has very good balance, a medium body and fine tannins with moderate acidity.”
