Festive Special! 

Assemblage of aromas from the barrel (cream, cocoa and vanilla) with black as well as ripe fruits. Typical Tempranillo liquorice aromas at the end with spicy notes. Pleasant, elegant profile shows fresh sensations from beginning to end. A good structure, provided by the Tempranillo variety, but with the velvety character of its barrel aging. In the end it is reminiscent of cherry and leaves a very pleasant unctuous feeling.

A selection of vineyards with low production settled on poor soils of Ebro’s terraces in the area of the Sonsierra.

Between 8 and 10 days of static maceration to avoid over-extraction. Spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts at 24 degrees C. Very small amounts of sulfur are added. Ageing for 18 months in French, Eastern European and American oak barrels. 10% of new barrels and 90% of used barrels from 2 to 6 uses.

Traditionally, Rioja Crianza is paired with local roast lamb and pork dishes, chorizo, jamon iberica and aged hard cheeses. However, Rioja Crianza is a very versatile wine, and is a great match with all manner of dishes, even being a hit with spicy food and curry.
