Product Description
Details

Produced by the prestigious Compañía Vinícola del Norte de España (CVNE), the red wine Viña Real Crianza is made from 90% Tempranillo, complemented with Mazuela (Carignan), Grenache and Graciano.

The DOCa Rioja regulatory board officially qualified the 2020 vintage as "Very Good."

The grapes were manually harvested, destemmed and cold-macerated to preserve their aromatic compounds. Then this Spanish red wine was fermented in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature.

After the completion of malolactic fermentation, the wine Viña Real Crianza 2020 was transferred into American and French oak barrels, where this vegan wine was aged for 14 months.

We suggest pairing this Rioja red wine with red meat dishes and stews.

Appearance

The red wine Viña Real Crianza is medium ruby with a reddish rim.

Nose

Intense aromas of blackberries, raspberries and cherries. This blend of Tempranillo, Grenache, Mazuela and Graciano suggests subtle wooden notes, particularly sweet spices and balsam, and even a hint of tobacco leaf and pine resin.

Palate

Good balance between fruit and oak. This Crianza red wine from the well-known Compañía Vinícola del Norte de España (CVNE) shows a classic Rioja character, with mild tannins, crisp acidity and a long finish, with some spicy and balsamic remembrances.

Our personal opinion

Round and well-balanced, the wine Viña Real Crianza 2020 never fails to deliver. A flawless everyday Rioja.
