Rioja, SpainFresh and super juicy, this Crianza embodies the classic Rioja balancing act with superb ripe red fruit, lively acidity and ripe tannins. Lovely berries and cream signal a familiar Rioja nose, with vibrant aromas of cherries, raspberries and currants. Of course, the sweet creaminess of American oak plays a vital role, mellowing and rounding the tangy tartness of tempranillo, while providing a velvety softness of texture. Vina Real evokes a popular traditional style, with overt earthiness, the fragrance of antiquity and clear Riojan identity. Vina Real is only ever made from fruit grown in the sub-region of Rioja Alavesa, where limestone clay soils and a mild climate yields lighter and elegant wines. The future of Rioja is all about focusing on sub-regional distinctions, and Vina Real has been doing this since the brand’s inception in 1920. Pair the exuberant fruit with spicy bbq ribs, or even blackened sockeye salmon.Tasted: 23 May 2019Tasted by: Prices:

Rioja, SpainThis wine presents as an honest hardworking red that reflects its origin and grape. It’s a mix of red and dark fruit, with a slippery silky jacket and a core of bright cherry flecked with balsamic/stony, mineral notes. The fruit for Vina Real comes off the Alavesa area of Rioja, it's fermented in stainless before spending 12-14 months in a mix of French and American oak barrels. Like all Cune wines, it’s the bright acidity of tempranillo that attracts, accented by small amounts of garnacha, graciano and mazuelo. A brilliant chicken wine.Tasted: 27 March 2019Tasted by: Prices:
