Altanza Unico Rioja - 2019 (750ml)

Deep-intense ruby, garnet heart with violet glints. Sweet and expressive bouquet with liquorice and ripe cherry and plum notes, well-integrated with the New French oak aromas of vanilla, spices and balsamic. It leaves an outstanding aftertaste for a Crianza, thanks to its silkiness mixed with complex aromas. - Winemaker's Notes

100% Tempranillo. Vineyards planted at 600 m above sea level in Galilea. Malolactic conversion in French oak barrels. Aged in new French oak barrels for 12 months.

“Tasted blind. Tertiary notes of evolution dominate: coffee, mushrooms, dried fruit and clean leather. A balance between harmonious fruit and good depth. Perhaps the touch of leather does not fully let the fruit express itself. The classic rioja profile. A winery that's always consistent in quality. (FC)” Jancis Robinson

93 Points, Wine Enthusiast:

"A pleasing, and subtle combination of oiled leather, violet blossoms, spiced pomegranates and dark chocolate lift from the glass and fill the mouth with flavor. A long, stimulating finish completes a satisfying wine meant to enjoy alongside a meal." — Elaine Chukan Brown

90-Points James Suckling:

Dried spices, cured meat, dark earth, berries and a touch of orange peel. Juicy and firm, with a medium body and a lightly chewy, savory finish. Vegan. Drink now. Zekun Shuai, Senior Editor
