Why you'll love it
A reliable, well-crafted Rioja Crianza, ready to enjoy upon release.
Black cherry, ripe raspberry and spiced plum, with layers of vanilla, toasted oak, cocoa and a touch of coffee. Silky, medium-bodied with balanced acidity and a lingering, smooth finish.
Pairs beautifully with roast lamb, grilled meats, tapas, charcuterie or aged Manchego. Also great with mushroom‑based dishes.
Best known in Rioja, Ribera del Duero
Spain's great red grape. Cherry, plum, tobacco and leather, with smooth tannins, and oak ageing adds vanilla and spice. It is the heart of Rioja and Ribera del Duero, and in Portugal's Douro the same grape is called Tinta Roriz.
Spain
Spain's most famous wine region. Tempranillo-based reds — Crianza, Reserva, Gran Reserva — defined by their relationship with American and French oak. Traditional Rioja has a distinctive vanilla, coconut character; modern styles are more fruit-forward. Both can be magnificent.
