SUMMARY:Rendezvous in Rioja
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an unforgettable evening celebrating the renowned wines of La Rioja Alta. Immerse yourself in a world of exceptional flavors as we pair each course with a carefully selected wine\, showcasing the region’s rich heritage and unparalleled quality. \nFew dispute that La Rioja Alta is a leading quality orientated producer in the Rioja. With more than 50\,000 casks and 6.4 million bottles stored at any one time (about 8 years of sales) La Rioja Alta is unique in its ability to supply large quantities of fully mature wines of world class quality. \nPurchase Tickets\n$125 Per Person + 20% House Service Charge & Tax \n\nFirst Course\nFresh White Beans Stew\nCrispy pancetta\, roasted tomatoes\, scallions \nPaired with \nLagar de Cervera | Rías Baixas Blanco ‘Pazo de Seoane’\nIn 1988\, famed Rioja expositor La Rioja Alta stumbled across a unique parcel in the Rosal subzone of the Rías Baixas. Today this wine\, Lagar de Cervera\, ranks among the best in the region and certainly stands at the forefront of the Rosal subzone of the appellation. \nRegion: Galicia | Appellation:Rias Baixas\n• 60% Albariño\, 21% Loureiro\, 12% Caíño Blanco\, 7% Treixadura\n• From the O Rosal subzone of Rías Baixas\n• Hand-harvested grapes; each variety vinified separately\n• Fermented and aged in steel \nSecond Course\nHerbed Grilled Crayfish\nRoasted red pepper sauce\, fried cauliflower rice \nPaired with \nRioja Reserva ‘Viña Alberdi’ \n100% Tempranillo from our Mayorita\, Rebollar\, and Bardal vineyards\, as well as selected plots in El Palo\, Rodezno and Alto del Rey\, and Labastida. These vineyards are located at an altitude of 500-600 metres (1600-2000 ft) above sea level\, planted in chalky-clay soils more than 40 years ago. After carefully selecting the grapes to be harvested\, we placed the clusters in boxes that we immediately transported to the winery in refrigerated vehicles at a temperature of 14°C (57°F). The Bordeaux model was applied\, destemming\, crushing and vatting the grapes in tanks\, where they underwent alcoholic and malolactic fermentation. The wine was aged for two years in American oak barrels manufactured in-house; the first year in new oak and the second in barrels averaging three years in age. The wine was manually racked four times by the light of a candle. \nThird Course\nCrispy Pork Belly\nButternut squash purée\, black garlic puree\, herb sauce \nPaired With \nRioja Reserva ‘Vina Ardanza’  \n\n80% Tempranillo from 30-year-old vines in Rioja Alta\n20% Garnacha from Rioja Baja\, a specialty of the subzone\nAll estate fruit\nManual picking began at the end of September\nOnly the ripest grapes make the final cut\nAged for 36 months on four-year-old American oak Barrels\n\n  \nFourth Course\nBraised Pork Cheeks\nPatatas a la riojana\, chorizo\, scallion\, asparagus\, red wine glaze \nPaired with \nRioja Gran Reserva ‘Viña Arana’ \nThe basic grape variety is Tempranillo (95%) from Las Cuevas\, El Palo and Las Monjas vineyards in Rodezno complemented with 5% Graciano from the Montecillo estate in Fuenmayor. We started the grape harvest with the Tempranillo and\, 17 days later\, we picked the Graciano in Montecillo\, the last plot we harvested. All the grapes were placed in small boxes and taken to the winery in refrigerated transport to preserve their integrity. Alcoholic fermentation took place in tanks\, taking 16 days for the Tempranillo and 18 days for the Graciano. Malolactic fermentation took place spontaneously and\, in March 2013\, the selected wines were transferred to American oak barrels (made in-house) with an average age of 3 years. During the three years the wines were aged\, they were racked every six months. The final blend was made in March 2016\, combining both varieties until that magnificent balance that sets the first Viña Arana Gran Reserva apart was attained. \nFifth Course\nTorrijas a la Riojana\nCrème Fraiche\, Dark Chocolate Ganache\, Orange Zest \nPaired With \nEmilio Lustau | Moscatel | “Emilin” NV | Jerez\n \n\n90% Tempranillo\, 10% Graciano\nThe first vintage to be optically sorted berry by berry\, therefore also the first vintage to be labeled as “Selección Especial”\nAlcoholic fermentation in tank for 21 days\nRacked to house-coopered American oak barrels (average age 4.5 years) in January of 2016\nAged for four years in barrel with manual rackings every six months\nBottled in February 2020\n\nLimited Seating Available.
