Raiza Crianza is a delightful Spanish red wine that showcases the traditional characteristics of a Crianza style. On the nose, Raiza Crianza offers enticing aromas of ripe red fruits, such as cherries and raspberries, accompanied by subtle hints of vanilla and spice. These aromas are a result of the wine's aging process in oak barrels, which adds complexity and depth to its profile. The palate of Raiza Crianza is smooth and well-rounded, with velvety tannins that provide a pleasant structure. The flavors of red berries continue to shine through, complemented by notes of toasted oak and a touch of earthiness. The wine's moderate acidity adds freshness and ensures a harmonious balance. With its medium-length finish, Raiza Crianza leaves a lingering impression of fruit and gentle spice, making it a versatile wine that pairs well with a variety of dishes.

This 100% Tempranillo showcases the essence of its terroir with finesse. From clay-stony soils of "El Ciervo," "Villavacas," and "Villarrica" vineyards, planted as far back as the 1960s, it embodies history and character. Handpicked grapes undergo meticulous selection and destemming before fermentation in stainless steel tanks with temperature control for 25 days, ensuring optimal color extraction. Malolactic fermentation in French oak tubs imparts complexity. Aging for 14 months in French and American oak barrels, followed by six months in the bottle, enhances its structure. This wine exudes elegance, with rich aromas, balanced tannins, and a lingering finish, promising a delightful tasting experience.
