The powerful Crianza Finca La Colorada from Lopez Cristobal’s hand flows into the glass with a dense purple-red color.

The Lopez Cristobal Crianza Finca La Colorada presents itself wonderfully dry to the wine lover. This red wine never appears coarse or lean, as one might expect from a wine.

The finish of this red wine from the Castilla y León winegrowing region, more precisely from Ribera del Duero DO, ultimately convinces with a lovely aftertaste.
