Made from 95% Tempranillo, 5% Garnacha of 30 years of age, the wine shows a ruby red color, a clean nose with nuances of balsamic, plum and cedar. The palate is smooth and velvety, complex and structured, with fruit, spice flavors with toasted oak. A pleasant finish with red fruits and hints of eucalyptus. It is ideal to pair with meats; red meat, poultry, small game, oily fish, semi-cured cheeses, spicy dishes and hot dishes such as beans or potatoes Rioja style.

Floral notes and red berry fruit combine on the nose, leading to a lifted and somewhat chalky palate. Tannins are present but soft and supportive, providing the framing for the wine. It is an elegant and pretty crianza with lots of personality and a fresh interpretation of traditional Rioja. It is also a great representation of the fresh 2021 vintage.

Juicy Bing cherries, peppery herbs, leather, and cedarwood notes all emerge from the 2021 Rioja Crianza, a medium-bodied, concentrated, round, layered red that has supple tannins, beautiful fruit, and a great finish. This classic Rioja has tons to love. (95% Tempranillo, 5% Garnacha)
