Merchant's description

Aromas of candied red and black fruit (Raspberries, strawberries, blackberries), very well integrated with soothing vanilla and toasted notes provided by the wood. In the mouth it is fruity, with good structure and well-balanced. Notable tastes of candied and jammy read fruit, with toasted coffee-cream and cocoa notes. Balanced aftertaste, with great volume and a long finish. . A stunning range of well crafted, traditional style Riojas produced by Vinedos Aldeanueva at a state of the art winery. The excellent climate and rich soils, together with the know-how of the local growers, result in highly valued quality grapes This wine is produced and labelled as Vegan Friendly.
