"The 2020 Crianza is 100% Tempranillo sourced from Rioja.  Aged for 14 months in American oak barrels, this garnet wine offers sour cherry and herbal notes layered with a subtle vanilla note.  Dry and supple on the palate, the lightly gripped mouthfeel lingers with a fruity note." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"An upgrade on a classic, aged in American oak barrels. Fresh, versatile, fruity, balanced, all with Ramón Bilbao’s signature twist. A wine created to be enjoyed any time, offering all the aroma and flavour of the finest Tempranillo grapes from Rioja.  Crianza is the ideal wine to be enjoyed every day. It is light, fresh, and has intense fruit flavours, particularly those of black fruits like blackberries and plums. The ageing comes through in subtle notes of liquorice, vanilla, coconut, and bakery. On the palate, it is elegant, juicy, and very easy to drink."
