Description

Deep red, with an aromatic, fruity nose showing figs and a suggestion of caramel. The palate is velvety, with very good acidity and perfect balance, as blackberry, coconut and floral notes build to a long, persistent finish. A modern, fruit-forward Rioja with just a touch of oak.

Made by Paco García in Murillo de Río Leza, in eastern Rioja. The Crianza spends 12 months in French oak barrels, just enough to add roundness and volume without masking the fruit. Best served at around 16°C.

A great all-rounder with red and white meats, pasta, stews and cheese.
