Zaco is the rebellious new Rioja from Bodegas Bilbaínas - a Rioja with a contemporary twist. Zaco is not constrained by the rules of the traditional ageing process. It is neither a Crianza nor a Reserva. Zaco is simply ready when award - winning international winemaker Diego Pinilla believes the wine is reaching its full potential. Every year Diego will identify the perfect moment to bottle Zaco. Zaco takes its name from one of the oldest vineyards in Bodegas Bilbaínas in the Rioja Alta. But that’s where Zaco’s links with the past begin and end. With its abundance of fresh red berries, notes of liquorice and faint undertones of spice, Zaco is the ultimate modern expression of Rioja. Winemaking: Cold pre-maceration, fermentations at lower than normal temperatures (24ºC), 2 weeks of maceration. The wine is racked in barrels for 8 to 12 months for aging. Alcohol: 13.5% Total acidity (tartaric): 5.2 gr/l Residual sugar: 2 gr/l
