Description

The Crianza spends 12 months in French oak barrels. It is a modern style of Rioja - fruity with a touch of oak just to give it roundness and volume on the palate. It is a deep red colour with an aromatic-fruity nose with hints of figs and a suggestion of caramel. On the palate, it is velvety with very good acidity and perfect balance. Flavour nuances of blackberry coconut and flowers build up to a long and persistent finish.

This wine would be a perfect accompaniment to white and red meats pasta stews and cheeses. It will age for about 7 years. Ideally, serve at 16°C.

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.
