Drinking Window: 2024 - 2027
Classical, well crafted and great value Rioja Crianza that makes for an ideal, elegant everyday drinker or safe choice to bring to a dinner party. Crunchy cranberry, prune, wild Mediterranean herbs and dried rose petals - all sprinkled with black and white peeper, nutmeg and cardamon - mingle on the palate, supported by soft yet muscular tannins. Vibrant citrus juiciness throughout, aiding the fine acid line. Spicy medium finish.
