Product Information Country Spain Region Rioja Grape Variety Tempranillo Vintage 2021 ABV 14.5% Torre de Oña Finca San Martín Rioja Crianza 2021 is a beautifully crafted Spanish red wine made from 100% hand-harvested Tempranillo grapes. This Rioja Crianza is bursting with wild red berry fruit, layered seamlessly with notes of dark chocolate, ground coffee, white pepper, and subtle earthy undertones. Its smooth texture and elegant freshness make it a standout choice for lovers of refined red wines from Spain. Vineyard & Sustainability This premium red wine originates from estate vineyards at Torre de Oña, nestled in the foothills of the Sierra de Cantabria. The limestone-rich soils contribute to exceptional drainage and impart vibrant acidity and aromatic complexity to the grapes. As part of La Rioja Alta’s commitment to sustainable viticulture, vineyard treatments are kept minimal, solar energy is utilised, and biodiversity is promoted through eco-friendly practices, including insect shelters that naturally support vine health. Traditional Winemaking Excellence Crafted using traditional Rioja winemaking methods, the grapes were carefully hand-picked and transported in small boxes to maintain fruit integrity. After gentle destemming and crushing, the wine underwent alcoholic and malolactic fermentation in tanks. Aged for 16 months in a combination of new American oak (60%) and second-use French oak barrels (40%), this Crianza was hand-racked three times for maximum flavour development. Tasting Notes • Aroma & Flavour: Juicy wild red berries, dark chocolate, fresh-ground coffee, forest floor, and a touch of white pepper. • Palate: Smooth, harmonious, and full of elegant freshness. • Finish: Long and balanced, with refined oak influence. Perfect for pairing with grilled meats, tapas, aged cheeses, or enjoyed on its own as a sophisticated evening red.
