VITICULTURE

Ontañón Crianza springs from a combination of two grape varieties (tempranillo and garna-cha) which we grow in two privileged spots for viticulture in the Rioja Oriental sub zone. We mix highland-grown tempranillos of different ages with old garnachas nurtured through careful viticulture which respects the surroundings. All our vineyards are located at altitudes of over 550 metres.

Varieties: Tempranillo & Garnacha

Ageing: Cask ageing was in American- oak (60%) and French-oak (40%) barrels for twelve months, during which we rack twice.

TASTING NOTES

Colour: Clear, bright ruby-red colour with great depth and hints of black-cherry and violet glints.

Aroma: Complex. Spicy with balsamic, herbal nuances. Ripe fruit, lactic aromas, soft  spices, truffle and mineral notes.

Taste: A full, balanced attack. It proves flavour-some, meaty and packed with fruity nuances and the style provided by the fine oak-ageing.

Alcohol: 14%

SERVING AND STORAGE TEMPERATURE: Best served at 16ºC - 18ºC

AGING POTENTIAL:

A wine with an excellent balance of acidity and structure which makes it ideal for cellaring for a long time.
