Tasting notes
This Crianza embodies the classic character of Rioja with a modern touch. Deep ruby in color, it opens with inviting aromas of ripe red berries, black cherries, and hints of vanilla and toasted oak from its time in barrel. On the palate, supple tannins support flavors of plum, raspberry, and a subtle spice, complemented by well-integrated acidity that lends freshness. The finish is smooth and lingering, with delicate notes of cedar and cocoa. A beautifully structured wine, ideal for pairing with grilled meats, mature cheeses, or traditional Spanish tapas.
