A vibrant Rioja from cult producer López de Heredia. It's made from a blend of 70% tempranillo, 20% garnacha and 5% each graciano and mazuelo (aka carignan), and aged in used American oak barrels. It's packed full of delicate savoury notes and a complexity that suggests greater maturity than a normal crianza. Silky and full of depth, this is a wine that will stand up to all things spicy and meaty.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Toasty oak, tobacco, vanilla and spice, balanced by ripe red cherries and cooked strawberry.
