The wine

La Emperatriz Crianza is one of three in the winery's Coupages Clásicos range, a round, well-balanced and flavoursome wine which conveys the complexity provided by the different varieties and parcels. A coupage of Tempranillo (95%), Garnacha (3%) and Viura (2%), and aged for 14 months in 225-litre American (80%) and French (20%) oak barrels, with a further year in bottle, La Emperatriz Crianza comes to our glasses with intense aromas of red fruits and slight nuances of black fruit, flowers and fine spices. A very tasty and palatable wine, with polished tannins, and extremely easy to drink.

Viñedos Hermanos Hernáiz

Finca La Emperatriz is one of the very few Rioja wineries to produce their wines from one single vine-growing plantation, which is customary in Bordeaux's Médoc region (other Rioja wineries employing the same model are Remelluri, Valpiedra and Contino). This is an estate of excellent quality whose potential had already been recognised at the Paris Universal Exhibition in 1878 and which concealed a very important history. The estate originally belonged to Eugenia de Montijo,...
