Description:

The winery at Rioja Vega was overhauled in 2001 and their wines have surged forward. From Tempranillo with a little Mazuelo and Garnacha, this smooth, soft, richly-fruited red, has spice and vanilla from 9 months in American oak.

This Gold Star award winning wine Rioja Vega Semi-Crianza featured in the Irish Times Weekend Magazine on Saturday November 19th 2021  Wine journalist John Wilson featured it as his Wine of the Week and it was suitably given the title “Bargain Bottle”.

Rioja Vega Semi-Crianza was given the title of Best  Value Red Wine  at the recent Irish Wine Show held in October  but has been well recognized that the quality of the wine far surpasses its excellent price-point.

Tasting Note:

Complex array of aromas on the nose, with notes of red fruits and liquorice and subtle hints of toast, spices and cinnamon.
