This “Marisa” opens with aromas of black cherry, plum, and blackberry layered with notes of spice, cocoa, and subtle earth. On the palate, it is medium- to full-bodied with rich dark fruit flavors supported by smooth, integrated tannins. A touch of vanilla and toasted spice adds depth. Balanced acidity keeps the wine lively. The finish is round, warm, and fruit-driven with lingering spice.

 

The Estate

Alaia is a boutique Spanish label focused on expressive wines from Castilla y León. The “Marisa” bottling highlights the region’s ability to produce structured yet approachable reds from indigenous varieties. The style balances ripeness with freshness, reflecting both tradition and modern winemaking.

Wine Making

Grapes are sourced from vineyards influenced by Castilla y León’s continental climate, with warm days and cool nights aiding in flavor development and structure. Fermentation is carried out with controlled extraction to preserve fruit and balance. Aging typically includes a period in oak to integrate tannins and add complexity. The approach emphasizes accessibility while maintaining regional character.

Food Suggestions

This Spanish red pairs well with grilled meats, roasted pork, and hearty stews. It also complements aged cheeses and traditional Spanish dishes like tapas or paella. A versatile option for both casual dining and retail programs.
