Aged in oak barrels for over a year, this Crianza is still in its youth, but can already be savored to the full! The oak is well integrated, giving way to pleasant notes of vanilla and cocoa beans, as well as juicy black fruits.

Very good value for money, classic Rioja, if you don't like typical Spanish wines that are quite strong/solar this won't be for you, but perfect for an apero tapas or as an accompaniment to red meat dishes, porcini mushrooms, or even with a pizza.

Note and review by M. ARTHUR K. Published on 01/08/2022
Does this wine go well with cheese? Yes, it certainly does. But if you drink a glass without any food, you'll smell the woodiness. It's of no interest to me. Aged in oak barrels to give only the taste of wood.
