Crianza Rioja DOCa 1,5 l Magnum - Castroviejo

The Crianza Rioja 1.5 l Magnum of Castroviejo from La Rioja offers a bright purple color in the swirled glass. With a bit of side lay, the red wine glass reveals a charming garnet red hue at the rims. This Spanish cuvée reveals wonderfully expressive notes of black currants, blackberries, mulberries and blueberries in the glass. These are joined by hints of oriental spices, vanilla and gingerbread spice.

This dry red wine from Castroviejo is perfect for people who would prefer 0.0 grams of residual sugar in their wine. The Crianza Rioja 1.5 l Magnum already comes pretty close to that, having been pressed with just 2.1 grams of residual sugar. On the palate, the texture of this balanced red wine is wonderfully velvety and dense. Due to the balanced fruit acidity, the Crianza Rioja 1.5 l Magnum flatters with a soft palate feeling, without at the same time lacking in juicy liveliness. The final of this red wine with good aging potential from the wine-growing region of La Rioja, more precisely from the Rioja DOCa, finally impresses with considerable reverberation.
