Crianza

2021 Rioja Tempranillo

The Viuda Negra Crianza is a remarkable red wine hailing from the esteemed Rioja region of Spain, showcasing the illustrious Tempranillo varietal. Its rich ruby hue invites you to explore its expressive nose, where tantalizing aromas of ripe cherries and dark berries mingle with subtle notes of vanilla and spice from oak aging. On the palate, the wine presents a well-balanced experience, offering a medium body enhanced by a vibrant acidity that adds a refreshing lift. The tannins are soft yet noticeable, providing structure without overshadowing the fruit. Its dryness further complements the wine's profile, making it an excellent choice for pairing with a variety of hearty dishes or enjoying on its own. With the 2021 vintage, the Viuda Negra Crianza beautifully embodies the essence of Rioja, delivering a delightful and memorable tasting experience.
