Marqués de la Concordia Rioja 2021
Rioja Alavesa, Rioja, SpainThe Rioja Santiago label is an ode to the winery's 150 year history. The style is modern, clean, and fresh, with no old wood or cellar notes. The nose and palate are red fruit oriented with soft tempranillo textures bolstered by acidity. The tempranillo vines average 20 years, and post ferment this spent 12 months in used American oak barrels where the exchange is mostly about oxygen, not oak. Ready to drink and perfect for chicken, vegetables, pasta and soft, fresh cheeses.Tasted: 16 August 2024Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $21.49 | 750ml | select private retailers |
