The wine
What does this wine taste like?
It has a bright cherry red colour with a violet rim that reveals its youth.
Aromas of fresh red fruit, such as cherry and raspberry, dominate the nose. There are also light floral nuances and a subtle spicy background.
On the palate, it is smooth and balanced. It has moderate acidity that brings freshness and light, well-integrated tannins. It is lively on the palate, with the fruit taking centre stage and a clean finish.
It is an easy-to-drink wine, designed to be enjoyed without complications, but with the typical personality of a young Rioja.

Drinking and storing
The ideal serving temperature is between 14 and 16 ºC. If it is too cold, it will lose its aromatic expression; if it is warm, the alcohol will be more noticeable.
This is a wine to be consumed now, in its early years after the vintage. It is not designed for long ageing.
It goes very well with informal meals, gatherings with friends or as an everyday wine. If you are looking for a Rioja with good value for money to always have on hand, this bottle fits the bill.
If you are comparing options before deciding on the price and purchase, it is a safe alternative among the young reds of Rioja.
Serve between 16ºC and 17ºC
