*Vintage may vary by location*

Attractive garnet color with purple hints on the meniscus. High aromatic intensity with forest fruits such as blackberries and wild blueberries, intermingled with black licorice and aromas of vanilla and nutmeg from the barrel ageing. It has a smooth entry on the palate, with a balance between ripe tannins and the freshness typical of this wine. Long and persistent finish with hints of red fruits and sweet spices.

Mocha, toffee and spiced plums on the nose of this creamy, spicy red. It’s medium- to full-bodied with firm but fine and powdery tannins. Chocolate notes to close. Vegan. Drink from 2026.

The 2022 Viña Real Crianza was produced with 90% Tempranillo and 10% Garnacha, Mazuelo and Graciano that fermented destemmed in stainless steel and matured in French and American oak barrels for 13 to 14 months. It achieved 13.7% alcohol, has a pH of 3.55 and 5.4 grams of acidity. This is a champion in drinkability, with enough complexity and depth, and is balanced and polished. It's very enjoyable, quite fruit-driven and a bit vinous. A surprise for 2022.

The 90% Tempranillo and 10% Garnacha, Mazuelo, and Graciano in the 2021 Vina Real Crianza are grown only in Rioja Alavesa from the winery’s own vines, with the intent of showcasing the area. Fresh, lively acidity balances dusty tannins and full-bodied berry fruit, the oak well-integrated in the background. Age 10-12 years.
