Azabache Rioja Crianza - Magnum/1.5 Litre

This excellent Rioja is well balanced with a soft seductive character typical of the Tempranillo, Garnacha and Mazuelo grapes. It is made to emphasise the fruit characteristics with a subtle hint of toasty, smokey and vanilla notes gained from one year in American oak barrels and allowed to mature 6 months in bottle before release. It exhibits a soft rounded mouthfeel, with fine silky taninns. The palate has intense plum and cherry flavours with elements of vanilla and spice that linger on the finish.

Excellent by the glass or to accompany tapas, chorizo, braised meats and cured cheeses.
