Tasting Notes

Bright ruby with an intense nose of forest berries like blackberry and blueberry with hints of spice. Long and elegant on the palate with integrated acidity, soft tannins and a very fruity, lingering finish.

Food Paring

Great with ribeye steak, roast lamb, or hearty casseroles where the wine’s acidity cuts through richness. Try alongside charcuterie and semi-aged cheeses for an easy pairing.

Professional Reviews

94 Wine Advocate

"The grapes for the 2021 Reserva (sold as Crianza in Spain), mostly Tempranillo with some Garnacha Tinta, Mazuelo and Graciano, were picked late in a cooler year when they finished the harvest the 20th of October, with plenty of times for the grapes to develop full aromas and flavors and complete ripeness. It fermented destemmed and lightly crushed in oak vats with indigenous yeasts, separating qualities, villages and soils, and matured in 80% French and 20% American oak barrels, 20% of them new, for 24 months, with racking every eight to nine months. It's a textbook example of their style in a very good year, with power, concentration and clout, elegance and freshness. It was a very harmonious year; the cycle was long and the tannins ripened to perfection."

Region Information

Rioja is one of Spain’s most renowned wine regions, internationally recognized for high‑quality red wines made primarily from Tempranillo. A combination of Atlantic and Mediterranean influences, along with diverse soils, allows Rioja to produce wines known for balance, elegance, and aging potential. Rioja wines range from fresh and fruit‑forward styles to complex, oak‑aged expressions that define classic Spanish winemaking.

Spain has the largest vineyard area in the world and a winemaking history that spans thousands of years. It is known for regions such as Rioja, Ribera del Duero, and Priorat, which produce distinctive red wines. Spain is also famous for fortified wines like Sherry and sparkling Cava. Modern investments and techniques have elevated quality while preserving regional identity.
