Rioja Alavesa 'El Camino' 2021 Torre de Oña

Overview

Intense ruby red colour with garnet edges, pure and very bright. On the nose, the intensity is noticeable, with refined notes of red currant, cranberry and blackberry, complemented by elegant and delicate aromas of clove, liquorice, tobacco and caramel, coming from the careful maturation in French oak barrels. On the palate, the wine is very pleasant, with a refined, balanced taste and sweet, silky tannins. The finish is exceptionally intense, with noble aromas of red forest fruits and spices, which also developed during maturation.
