Crianza 2004

Varieties:100% Tempranillo

2004 Vintage Overview

The 2001 vintage was rated excellent across the whole of the Rioja region thanks to particularly healthy development of the vines. Rainfall was plentiful and well timed and spring frosts and summer hailstorms were limited and did not cause undue damage. Vineyard development was very satisfactory with a slightly early bud-burst, flowering and fruit-set. All these factors allowed us to achieve musts that were very aromatic, fruity, high in polyphenols and where the acidity and sugar were well balanced.

Tasting Note

Intense cherry red, with a narrow bright violet rim, this wine has lots of mature red fruit aromas as well as vanilla and spices. The palate in well structured with red fruits and a well integrated, light 'toastiness' resulting in an elegant, long finish.
