Sierra Cantabria Crianza is a distinguished red wine from the prestigious Denomination of Origin Calificada Rioja. Produced by the Sierra Cantabria winery, it exclusively uses the Tempranillo grape variety from its own vineyards in San Vicente de la Sonsierra. The Eguren family, known for their commitment to environmentally friendly practices, aims to capture the essence of the Atlantic character and the freshness of the Rioja Alavesa region. The creation of this wine combines traditional methods with modern precision to maintain the purity of the fruit and the genuine expression of the vineyard. The wine undergoes carefully controlled aging in oak barrels, adding complexity and elegance without overshadowing the Tempranillo. On the nose, Sierra Cantabria Crianza is distinguished by aromas of ripe red fruits like cherry and plum, accompanied by spicy notes, balsamic nuances, and toasty hints derived from its aging. The wine is expressive and elegant, achieving perfect balance. On the palate, it is fresh and harmonious, with well-integrated tannins and a balanced acidity that provides dynamism. The finish is long and persistent, making this crianza a perfect companion for cured meats, grilled meats, stews, and semi-cured cheeses. It is recommended to serve between 16 and 18 ºC to fully enjoy its aromatic complexity. Sierra Cantabria Crianza is a true interpretation of the elegant style of the Rioja Alavesa.
