Vina Real Crianza Rioja 750ml - Item Code: 08496
Tasting Notes and Characteristics:
The first sip of Viña Real Crianza Rioja 750ml wraps your senses in a tapestry of ripe red cherries, subtle vanilla, and a whisper of toasted oak, instantly transporting you to the sun-drenched hillsides of Spain. Crafted from Tempranillo grapes with a touch of Garnacha and Mazuelo, this Spanish red balances vibrant fruit with earthy undertones and silky tannins that linger gracefully on the palate. With an alcohol by volume of 13.50%, it’s robust enough to stand up to roasted lamb yet nuanced enough to elevate the nutty complexity of Manchego cheese. Each glass is a celebration of Rioja’s heritage, inviting you to savor both tradition and flavor in every pour.
