La Rioja Alta S.A. Vina Alberdi Crianza, Rioja DOCa, Spain 2021

Description

From Rioja Alta, this classic 100% Tempranillo is sourced from estate vineyards around Fuenmayor and Laguardia. Aged in American oak, it balances the fresh, vibrant character of Rioja with subtle oak and spice complexity. The 2021 shows ripe red berries, raspberry and red currant, complemented by balsamic and herbal nuances, with hints of vanilla, caramel and roasted coffee. Fresh and harmonious on the palate, it has soft tannins, bright acidity and a lingering red-fruit finish.
