This is an old-school style of Rioja, made using carbonic maceration, aged in concrete vats. There’s a forward fruitiness offering blueberry, blackberry, black currants, smoke and violets on the nose. Soft tannins, fine acidity, and medium-plus body support dark chocolate, cherries, blueberries and black currants on the palate.
