2018 Voelos Rioja Crianza, Rioja, Spain

Garnet-red with a cherry-coloured rim. Clear and bright sheen. This crianza wine stands out for its complexity, freshness and elegance. On the nose it is tremendously fragrant and appealing. The typical red-berry fruit of the Tempranillo grape come to the fore, accompanied by more subtle notes from the ageing and mineral nuances. On the palate it reflects the marked cold nature of the vintage. It is fresh and nicely balanced, with good backbone and cellaring potential. It is an appetizing wine which invites you to savor it.
