Aromas of blackberry and bilberry together with spicy tones (clove and cinnamon) from the American oak in which the wine spends 12 months, imparting mild tobacco and light balsamic notes. The Tempranillo variety showing its typical elegance and complexity with a long and silky finish.

Viña Bujanda Rioja Crianza is consistently a customer favourite and it is not hard to see why, this is a reflection of the stunning qualities of the fabulous Tempranillo grape. It is elegant and complex with aromas of black fruit and spice from its wood ageing. It offers a wide and fresh feel in mouth, where it develops a round space of silkiness and elegance.

Food pairings would include cheeses poultry fish and Rioja's favourite culinary companion, lamb.

"Easygoing red with notes of raspberries, chocolate orange, blueberries, balsamic and praline. It's creamy and tangy, with powdery tannins to the ripe berry fruit. Drink now."
