Rioja, Spain

“Fruity, Juicy, Value for Money”

The wine shows attractive aromas of plum, black cherry, black berry, oak and hint of chocolate and raisin.  On palate, it is a medium+ bodied yet juicy wine, the mouthfeel is broad with toasty oak and fine-grained tannins.  Only 8,500 bottles were produced in this selected good year. 

... Tasting notes of:

  

… Pairs well with lamb, pizza, poultry

From the Importer:

“Pure Tempranillo from Briones. Fermented, destemmed and uncrushed in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts. Matured in French barriques, 30% of them new, for two years. Only 8,500 bottles were produced. It's grapey and juicy, with high ripeness, notes of plums and raisins. Faintly spicy with fine-grained tannins and a dry finish.”
