Rioja Crianza, Viña Real
A blend of 90% Tempranillo and 10% Garnacha, Mazuelo and Graciano. It’s expressive, deliciously aromatic, floral and elegant, reflecting a cool year that delivered fresh wines that seem to be very approachable early on. 2020 is a pretty vintage, but this wine is not banal; it has depth and complexity that’s remarkable for the price point. The palate is fresh and balanced, with fine tannins.
