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. |
