Rioja Crianza

Cherry red in colour with intense aromas of sweet red fruit such as cherries and strawberries and a slightly spicy undertone. Soft attack and full of red and black fruit in the taste. Elegant with round and ripe tannins. Use of wood gives a pleasant structure to the wine.

Combines well with slow-cooked meat and stews with cooked vegetables, spicy spareribs and BBQ dishes, roasted and candied red poultry (e.g. duck) with a creamy sauce and lightly grilled and fried red meat (bavette, entrecote) with a creamy sauce and spicy notes. Also with lamb back, fillet, saddle and leg, fried or grilled Iberian pork with a creamy sauce and mature flavours and accessible hard old cheeses with compote.
