Nose

Aromas of bramble, boysenberries and wild herbs, with a wam spicy touch (clove, cardamom, cinnamon) and a dash of black pepper. This blend of Tempranillo, Grenache and Viura has a textbook Rioja nose.

Palate

This wine of Akutain winery has slim tannins, a fresh and uplifting mid palate and a lively acidity, with a savoury core of forest berries and a long finish ending reminiscent of warm spices and balsam.

Our personal opinion

While preserving its traditional Rioja character, the wine Akutain Crianza 2020 manages to be bright and nimble.
