Why we love this wine:
A beautifully balanced Crianza. Supple with ripe black fruits flavour and delicate notes of vanilla and slight pepper. It’s a blend of 80% Tempranillo, 15% Graciano, 5% Garnacha from deAlto who is known to have been producing highly esteemed wines from the heart of Rioja.
Winemaker / tasting notes:
The benefit of very careful pre-selection of vineyards and fruit is that we make wines that have a pre-determined objective, wines that, having gone through the desired ageing process, are ready to be drunk, ideally prepared to display all the nuanced, complex fruit that is the hallmark of great Rioja. Think of succulent, smoky blackberries, subtle hints of grilled meats, vanilla, touches of tobacco. Delicately layered, mouth filling but ultimately pure, long, satisfying.
