D.O.Rioja/Javier-Viuda Negra, Crianza 0.75l

This characterful red wine from Rioja Alavesa perfectly reflects the uniqueness of the region's historic vineyards. Its deep ruby colour with delicate garnet glints promises depth and elegance.

The aroma is rich and layered, bringing notes of ripe cherries and blackberries, which gradually develop into delicate nuances of vanilla, spice and lightly toasted wood, gained through careful ageing in oak barrels.

Grape variety: This wine is made from 100% Tempranillo, which gives it a deep fruity structure, velvety texture and balanced elegance. Thanks to its origin from old vineyards, it gains complexity and exceptional character.

Ageing: After fermentation with destemmed grapes in stainless steel tanks, the wine aged for 12 months in 225-litre barrels of French oak. This careful ageing process gives it delicate notes of spice, vanilla and light toastiness, without overpowering its rich fruity essence.

Vineyard: The grapes come from carefully selected vineyards in Laguardia, which are part of a unique collection of vineyards in Rioja Alavesa. This project focuses on preserving and respecting traditional vineyards, which is reflected in the wine's unique terroir.

Tasting notes: Colour: Deep ruby with delicate garnet glints, Aroma: Rich notes of ripe red and black fruit, delicate nuances of spice and vanilla, Taste: Full-bodied, velvety and perfectly balanced with gentle tannins and a long, elegant finish

Food pairing: Viuda Negra Crianza is an ideal companion to mature cheeses, grilled red meats and traditional Spanish dishes, such as beef cheeks or lamb with herbs. It also pairs wonderfully with dishes inspired by Mediterranean cuisine.
