A classic, fruit-forward Rioja Crianza with plenty of character and remarkable value. The wine shows an intense cherry-red color with ruby and violet tones. Aromas of ripe red and black berries mingle with notes of vanilla, coconut, and warm baking spices, reflecting its time aging in American oak.
On the palate, the wine is beautifully balanced and structured, with juicy dark-fruit flavors complemented by subtle oak, vanilla, and spice. Silky tannins and a smooth texture lead to a persistent, satisfying finish. Traditional in style while remaining fresh and approachable, this is an easygoing Rioja that delivers considerably more complexity than its price suggests.
Pairing: Excellent with roasted or grilled meats, lamb, hearty dishes, and aged cheeses.

Burnished with plums, mulberries, cherries and plums embraced by a casing of generous vanilla oak and creamy texture, with scores of chalky tannins and a tobacco length. *Gold - Decanter World Wine Awards 2025

Layers of dark fruits and integrated oak spice gain mountain herbs and vanilla bean as the wine opens with air. Approachable and mouthwatering, this Tempranillo captures the charm with depth of the variety.

Cream and spices with a touch of toffee to the red berries, hibiscus and plums. Medium-bodied, well balanced and restrained. Pretty long finish.
