Our Comments This is the first attempt at a Crianza by the winemaker Oscar Riaņo Villaverde, and in our opinion it is a great start. Only 38,000 bottles produced. Full bodied, full of fruit and smooth, smooth, smooth. Only by tasting can you appreciate how good this wine is. To be enjoyed now or over the next 5+ years.
