Tasting Note

Deep ruby colour of medium intensity. Fresh aroma, alternating balsamic notes with black fruits. A spicy background reveals delicate oak and subtle notes of liquorice that blend together with a pleasant complexity in tasting. On the palate its volume is pleasant and it develops silky tannins during the tasting. . The finish is flavoursome, freshened by minty and balsamic notes in the finish. Very well-balanced wine, filled with subtleties, pleasant, and very versatile to be shared and enjoyed together at memorable moments.

Product Notes

Marqués de Cáceres Rioja Crianza is a Spanish red wine distinguished by its rich, voluptuous blend of elegance and structure. Originating from La Rioja Alta, homeland of the Tempranillo grape, it boasts dark fruity notes of cherry and blackcurrant, underlined by hints of spice, leather and vanilla. Ageing in French and American oak barrels infuses the Crianza with subtle woody tones that compliment its robust character. This full-bodied Rioja has a plush, velvety texture rounded off with a lingering, satisfying finish. Perfect for pairing with red meat and mature cheeses, it elevates dining into a delightful sensory experience.
