The 2020 Sierra Cantabria Crianza is an expressive Rioja that shows just how good Tempranillo can be in the right hands. Bright cherry and red plum aromas lead the way, layered with subtle notes of vanilla, spice, and a touch of toast from its time in oak. On the palate it’s medium-bodied, fresh, and silky, with juicy red fruit flavours balanced by gentle tannins and lively acidity. That classic Rioja elegance - polished yet easy to enjoy - makes this Crianza just as good with a weeknight roast chicken as it is alongside grilled lamb or tapas with friends. Made by the legendary Eguren family in Rioja, it spends 14 months in American and French oak, giving it a perfect balance of fruit and spice. A total crowd-pleaser!
