Intense, ripe and powerful aromas of black fruit with hints of liquorice, mocha and spice. Bright black cherry and plum fruit on the substantial palate with fresh acidity and balancing tannins characterise the Ontanon Crianza. A very complete and satisfying Crianza with a lingering finish. Produced from 40 year old vines grown just south of the River Ebro in Rioja Baja. The wine is produced predominantly from Tempranillo blended with Garnacha and following a long maceration period, the wine spends 12 months in 60% American and 40% French oak barrels (both used and new). This wine pairs particularly well with roast chicken and game.
