VINTAGES Release March 5 : Señorío de P. Peciña Crianza Rioja 2015
We're happy to welcome the 2015 vintage of Señorío P. Peciña Crianza Rioja to LCBO shelves with this week's VINTAGES release.
Bodegas Hermanos Peciña is firmly planted in traditional Rioja, one of perhaps a dozen of producers adhering to the tenets passed down through generations. This includes long aging in mostly neutral American oak, regular open-air racking by hand (called trasiego), and then further aging in bottle often well beyond the specifications required by the DO. Founder Pedro Peciña had over two decades of working in Rioja Alta before opening his own Bodega in 1992.

Bodegas Hermanos Peciña
Señorio P. Peciña Crianza Rioja 2015
Rioja Alta, Spain
This wine is a blend of Tempranillo (95%), Graciano (3%), and Garnacha (2%), from various calcareous-clay vineyards, and vines averaging 40 years old. The wine ages 2 years in used American oak barrels, and 1.5 years in bottle prior to release. Classic cherries, toasted coconut, cigar, and spice floods the medium palate, and fine-grained, grippy tannins, to a persistent finish.
"Youthful by the standards of some of the wines in Hermanos Peciña range, this will definitelydevelop further in bottle if you can keep your hands off it. Made from Tempranillo and5% Graciano and Garnacha, all aged in older American wood, it's a fresh, spicy rose petal-scented red with a balsamic top note. Drink date: 2021-2028." 91 points, Tim Atkin, MW, timatkin.com, Rioja Special Report 2021
