Wine Catalog > Marqués de Cáceres Rioja Crianza

Attractive deep garnet colour, very fresh bouquet of ripe red fruit with a delicate depth of oak that gently enfolds a few notes of vanilla spice. Full and intense mouth feel with pleasant texture, nice body, and rich flavours. Aging in barrel has resulted in soft and silky tannins that make this wine a pleasure to experience. Vines (May/June 2009), says “The blend for this lively, fruity and spicy wine is mostly Tempranillo, the signature grape of Rioja, with barrel maturation occurring in Frenh andd American oak. A wine labelled Crianza has spent at least six months in small oak barrels. The result here ia a charming red wine with bright, juicy fruit, a little spice and soft tannins that is ready to drink right now.
