Winemaking notes
Anciano Rioja Crianza comes from leading producer Criadores de Rioja located near Logroño, at the heart of Rioja Alta. The winery belongs to a family with one of the longest traditions in Rioja winemaking and our winemaker has access to some of the finest wines in Rioja.
Viticultural notes
In central Rioja, the climate is a unique confluence of Continental, Mediterranean and Atlantic. Grapes are hand-harvested from mid-September from 100ha of outstanding vineyards, including a selection of bush-trained vines with an average age of 20 years. Ripe grapes are fermented in stainless steel tanks with the temperature controlled at 28°c. Following fermentation and several days maceration, the wine is aged in American oak barrels for 12 months. This results in the perfect balance of fruit and oak flavours.
Tasting notes
Elegant, complex, well-structured, fresh and fruity. Classic Rioja style which is enjoyed in the many tapas bars of Logroño. Aromas of red fruits and vanilla with subtle hints of liquorice and toffee. Silky and persistent finish with a touch of spice. Ageing potential 3-5 years. Suitable for Vegetarians and Vegans
Pairing notes
Versatile with all kind of Mediterranean dishes such as pasta, rice, white meat, pulses and barbecues.
