Product Ratings
James Suckling 92pt

A fresh nose with good depth and complexity. Spiced cherries, berries, dark chocolate and touches of wet earth and mushrooms. Medium-bodied and succulent on the palate, with lots of juicy fruit and a very long, fine-grained finish. Not the most concentrated expression of Rioja, but this shows the elegance, crunch and freshness of 2018. Delicious now, but can hold well.

by James Suckling, 2024

Ageing

In American and French oak barrels for at least 12 months, followed by 24 months in bottle

Vinification

Elaborated with grapes coming from old vines located at Rioja Alta area. Fermentation of destemmed grapes in stainless steel tanks. Maceration for 15 days with continuous pumping over in order to achieve a good extraction of colour.

Food pairing

Stews, spiced dishes, legumes and cured cheeses.

Tasting notes

Brilliant ripe black cherry red colour with good depth. Fruity aromas with elegant notes of fine wood. Velvety in the mouth with a long finish.
