Product Description
Details
Produced by the Sierra Cantabria winery, owned by the Eguren brothers, the wine Sierra Cantabria Crianza is a modern classic from La Rioja.
Made solely from Tempranillo, the vines are planted in clay-limestone soils with very low levels of organic matter. Farmed following environmentally friendly procedures, the vineyards of this Spanish red wine are located in the towns of San Vicente de la Sonsierra and Labastida.
The grapes were first harvested by hand and selected both in the vineyard and in the cellar. Then they were destemmed and gently crushed, after which the resulting wine must was macerated and fermented with indigenous yeasts.
After that, the wine Sierra Cantabria Crianza 2020 was aged for 14 months in French and American oak barrels. During that period, it was racked every 6 months.
Aerate this Crianza red wine from La Rioja some time before drinking.

| Appearance | The wine Sierra Cantabria Crianza is medium cherry with ruby tinges and a brick-red rim. |
|---|---|
| Nose | Fragrant aromas of wild berries, typical of a varietal Tempranillo, alongside spices, some lactic touches and notes of vanilla, roasted coffee, cocoa and balsam. |
| Palate | Pleasant and palate-coating, this wine of the Sierra Cantabria winery has an excellent balance and a very precise acidity. Ripe red fruit, pleasant notions of spices, some mineral undertones and savoury tannins. This Crianza red wine has a medium-long, delicately bitter finish. |
| Our personal opinion | Fresher and yummier than ever, the wine Sierra Cantabria Crianza 2020 is a wise buy. |
