"The 2018 Crianza Ares is quite different from the new project, Voelos, which is more traditional. It’s still made from Tempranillo grapes from Sonsierra, aged in French oak barrels for 12 months, but in a completely different style—here, the fruit takes center stage. It’s a very easy-drinking Crianza, with the oak in the background (or even further back...) and crisp fruit, along with a vibrant palate and great freshness. It’s perfect by the glass and as a food pairing.” (Wine Advocate 2020)

Review by Mr. CHRISTOPHE J. Published on 11/27/2023
A Rioja that’s a bit overrated, in my opinion—pleasant to drink but lacking a bit in finesse and body
