WINE DESCRIPTION

Rivarey Tempranillo Crianza is a robust and flavorful red wine produced by Rivarey, a winery that has established a reputation for crafting quality wines in the Rioja region of Spain. The wine is made predominantly from Tempranillo, the signature grape of the region, known for its versatility and ability to express the unique characteristics of the Rioja terroir. The "Crianza" designation indicates that the wine has been aged for a minimum of one year in oak barrels and another year in the bottle, allowing it to develop a harmonious balance of fruit and oak influences.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

Rivarey Tempranillo Crianza offers a rich and inviting tasting experience characteristic of Rioja wines.The wine displays a deep ruby color and exudes aromas of ripe red fruits like cherries and raspberries, complemented by notes of vanilla, leather, and a hint of spice from its oak aging. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied, presenting flavors of red and black fruits, intertwined with nuances of oak, tobacco, and a subtle earthiness. The texture is smooth with well-integrated tannins, contributing to its round and structured profile. The finish is persistent, with a pleasant balance of fruitiness and oaky complexity.
