Raro Finca Cuesta Clara Reserva Rioja DOCa - Bodegas Campillo

In the glass, the Raro Finca Cuesta Clara Reserva Rioja from the house of Bodegas Campillo reveals a dense ruby-red color. When the glass is tilted slightly, a transition of the color towards garnet red can be seen at the rims of this barrel-aged wine. When given some air by swirling, this red wine reveals high viscosity, which is reflected in pronounced church windows on the glass. The bouquet of this red wine from La Rioja impresses with nuances of lime, lemongrass, blueberry and blackberry. Following the aromatics further, cinnamon, vanilla and gingerbread spice emerge, enhanced by the influence of oak.

The Bodegas Campillo Raro Finca Cuesta Clara Reserva Rioja presents itself to the wine lover pleasantly dry.

The finish of this highly age-worthy red wine from the La Rioja wine-growing region, more precisely from Rioja DOCa, ultimately delights with a considerable length.
