ONTAÑÓN RIOJA CRIANZA 2020

Spain - Rioja. Dependable, enjoyable and affordable would be three words to sum up Ontañón’s Rioja Crianza. With juicy bramble fruit character, a lick of oak and enough structure to keep it all together it offers a lot in the glass. The grapes come from 40-year-old vines grown on the slopes of the Sierra Yergas, around Quel, just south of the River Ebro in Rioja Oriental. Intense black fruit and warm spice, good depth of flavour with some balancing freshness and supple tannins. A very approachable yet classic Crianza.
 
This wine pairs well with roast chicken and game, meaty pasta and hard cheeses.
