Characteristics
VIEWDeep ruby red, with a thick tear.
NOSEAromatic complexity and intensity, showcasing notes of very ripe dark fruit (plums, blackberries, blueberries) upfront, followed by hints of balsamic, licorice, and subtle floral aromas. With aeration, layers of cocoa, clove, black pepper, and elegant French oak toastiness emerge.
MouthOn the palate, it is broad, enveloping, and very well-structured. The entry is fleshy, with present but polished tannins, perfectly integrated. Its balance between power and finesse stands out, with acidity that supports the wine and brings freshness. The aftertaste is long, with notes of liqueur-like fruit, sweet spices, and noble smokiness.
A lingering, round, and seductive finish. A wine with character, depth, and great aging potential.
Ribeye, T-bone, or TomahawkA star pairing for lovers of powerful reds and great cuts of meat, ideal for those seeking a complete experience where the meat and wine continuously complement each other with every bite.
Ribeye o Bchorizo sausageThe deep character of the aged Monastrell perfectly complements the smoky and fatty nuances of these meats. The wine's structure balances their juiciness and enhances their flavor.
Entrails and Void: Meaty and fibrous, perfect for a full-bodied red wine. Rizado adds structure and enough acidity to balance its texture and enhance its flavor, especially when paired with chimichurri or other spiced accompaniments.
Beef tenderloin with porcini mushroom sauceThe softness of the cut is enriched by the depth of the wine, while the porcini echo its tertiary notes.
Oxtail and Oxtail CannelloniThe richness of the stew is complemented by the silky texture and the spicy, ripe fruit aromas of the wine.
Brisket Sandwich and Short Rib TacoThe sweet touch and honeyed texture of these dishes find harmony with the fruity layers and the woody, spicy finish of Rizado.
Sweetbreads, Blood sausage and Creole chorizoThey pair very well with the complexity of the wine, especially when served with chimichurri or other spicy touches.
ProvoletaThe melting texture and saltiness of the cheese wonderfully contrast with the structure of the wine, creating a hedonistic and powerful pairing.
Rizado is Bodegas Trenza's most personal and ambitious expression..
It is a signature wine made to express the richness, elegance, and deep character of the Monastrell variety when worked with patience, precision, and respect for the land. Conceived as a personal work, Rizado is a unique interpretation of a traditional variety that comes to life through a meticulous approach at every stage of the process.
The grapes that give rise to Rizado were harvestedmanually on October 7, 2020, selected carefully in old vineyards transported in small 15 kg boxes to preserve their integrity. Upon arrival at the warehouse, they were cooled to 4°C for 24 hours., favoring a more delicate maceration and a controlled extraction of aromas and color. The selection was twofold: a specialized team chose clusters of exceptional quality, of which only 50% were destemmed; the remainder was fermented with whole clusters to contribute complexity, freshness, and a natural structure to the wine.
Alcoholic fermentation was carried out directly in 500-liter French oak barrels, where manual punch-downs were also performed two to four times daily for 18 days., allowing for a slow and respectful extraction of phenolic compounds. Once this process was finished, the wine was pressed and returned to the same barrels to undergo spontaneous malolactic fermentation.
Rizado remained in these large-volume barrels for 24 months, slowly refining itself, developing layers of depth and complexity that today are revealed in a rounded, harmonic, and singular wine. It is the result of a clear vision: to create an exceptional Monastrell that speaks of the terroir, the know-how, and the unique identity of Bodegas Trenza.
A wine with soul, conceived to leave its mark.
