Description

Cherry-ruby in the glass, with blackcurrant and damson fruit, a touch of mint and the sweet vanilla of American oak. The palate is balanced and complex, with softening tannins and gentle savoury notes developing with age. A classic, traditional Crianza from a family estate with four generations of history.

Made from selected Tempranillo from Urbina's 75 hectares of vineyards. It undergoes a 28-day fermentation and maceration in stainless steel, followed by 12 months in American oak barrels and six months resting in bottle before release.

Pair with roast lamb, grilled pork chops or a hearty lentil and chorizo stew.

Rioja

Rioja, located in northern Spain, is one of the country’s most prestigious and renowned wine regions. The region benefits from a diverse climate with influences from both the Mediterranean and Atlantic, contributing to its varied wine styles.
Famous for its reds, primarily made from Tempranillo, which produce wines known for their depth, rich fruit flavours, and well-integrated oak characteristics, the region also produces notable blends incorporating Garnacha and Graciano. Rioja’s whites, including those from Viura and Malvasía, are celebrated for their freshness, aromatic complexity, and balanced acidity. Historically, Rioja has a winemaking tradition dating back to Roman times. The region gained prominence in the 19th century with the influence of French winemaking techniques, and today it is recognised for its commitment to both traditional and modern practices. Rioja's classification system, including Crianza, Reserva, and Gran Reserva, reflects its dedication to quality and aging potential, making it a benchmark for Spanish wine.
