Most definitely an organic rioja from the new wave. An enticingly vivid ruby red in the glass, there are elegant and subtle aromas of figs, balsamic, liquorice and raisins. On the palate it’s strikingly well poised with well-constructed tannins, soft and almost chocolatey ripe fruit and a pleasantly firm finish. This is a semi-crianza wine, aged in oak for 6 months, smooth, mellow and with just a hint of spice.
