Agnus Crianza
Red

Agnus Crianza

Valdelana · D.O.Ca. Rioja · Rioja Alavesa

Deep cherry red, clean and bright. Balsamic notes on the nose combined with oak-derived aromas such as vanilla. A full, rich entry leading to a supple, fruity palate with soft integrated tannins, and a pleasant finish with balsamic notes.

Pairs with: Iberian pork tenderloin, baked lamb and mushroom risotto. The oak aging adds the complexity to carry roast meats and dishes of medium intensity.

About Valdelana

The Valdelana family has grown grapes in Elciego (Rioja Alavesa) since the end of the 19th century, farming around 150 hectares of Tempranillo, Mazuelo, Graciano, Viura and Malvasía at fairly low yields. Juan Jesús Valdelana, third generation of the family, is winemaker and manager; the estate produces wines exclusively from its own grapes to control quality from vineyard to bottle.
