Crianza Rioja Tempranillo
La Rioja, Spain
Señorío de Odon Crianza 2021
Rioja, Spain 🇪🇸
Overview
A classic 100% Tempranillo Crianza from Rioja, aged 12 months in a mix of American and French oak barrels before resting further in bottle. This style highlights Rioja’s ability to balance ripe fruit with elegant oak integration, resulting in a wine that’s approachable yet structured.
Aromas & Flavors
Nose: ripe red berries, blackberry pie, baking spices, vanilla, and a gentle touch of oak, with a hint of mocha.
Palate: juicy and silky, with flavors of cherry compote, blackberry, red currants, and subtle cocoa, backed by soft tannins and lively acidity.
Mouthfeel
Medium-plus body with silky, approachable tannins and a lingering, smooth finish. Balanced between fruit, spice, and oak, showing a lovely finesse without being overpowering.
Winemaking & Style
Traditional fermentation in stainless steel vats preserves freshness, while barrel aging adds vanilla, spice, and subtle toasty notes. This Crianza is built for immediate enjoyment but can age gracefully for another 5–7 years.
Food Pairing
Pairs beautifully with Jamon Ibérico, Manchego, roasted lamb, tapas, and grilled vegetables. Also a versatile option with Mediterranean dishes.
Verdict
A crowd-pleasing Crianza with vibrant fruit, elegant oak, and a smooth finish at an excellent value. Drink now for maximum pleasure or cellar short-term for added nuance.
