This got your new house wine written all over it. Great combinmation of fruit and a complex savouryness on the nose, with a fresh acidity and a nice grip from a balanced portion of tannins on the palate makes this wine a fine representative of the new postmodern Rioja. The generous portion of Graciano and Rivieres gentle Winemaking summarize the equation.

Snygg, slank, fruktdriven och med stor fräschör samt perfekt integrerade tanniner. (Post)modern Rioja i sin renaste form.
