"A sure bet!"

Aged in oak barrels for over a year, this Crianza is still young but already a delight to drink! The oak is well-integrated, giving way to pleasant notes of vanilla and cocoa beans, as well as juicy dark fruits.

Review by Mr. STEPHANE V. Posted on August 16, 2022

Great value for money, a classic Rioja. If you don't like typical Spanish wines that are quite bold and sunny, this one isn't for you, but it's perfect for an aperitif with tapas or paired with red meat dishes, porcini mushrooms, or even pizza.
