Product Highlights
Fresh, fruity wine with a lovely attack, reminiscent of red fruit mingled with the coconut and vanilla aromas from the oak. Full and supple with a long finish. A wine with character which showcases the quality of the grapes used to make it. Ideal match for grilled white and red meat, oily fish such as emperor fish and cured cheese.

Expert Reviews
The 2018 Crianza Arienzo de Marqués de Riscal is Tempranillo sourced in Rioja and aged for 18 months in American oak barrels. With a garnet hue, the oaked nose features vanilla, coffee and smoky aromas, complemented by a sour cherry core. Dry and creamy, the juicy and moderately structured palate lingers long with a drying mouthfeel. Drink 2024 through 2029.

A medium-bodied red, offering hints of spiced orange peel and mocha that accent baked cherry, tobacco and loamy earth, with light tannins. Tempranillo and Graciano. Drink now. 10,000 cases imported.
