This designation is awarded when a wine has aged for at least 24 months, including at least 6 months in oak. These are minimum requirements. Bodegas LAN prioritizes quality, which is why this Crianza has been aged in oak for a longer period: a full 12 months!
LAN Rioja Crianza is made entirely from Tempranillo grapes, perhaps the pride of Spain. Tempranillo is known for its spirited wines with plenty of character. Well, LAN Rioja Crianza is certainly full of character. The aroma is bursting with red fruit: berries, strawberries, and raspberries. Delicious. A subtle spice is revealed by a tingling nose. The flavor is intense and powerful. Full-bodied! Plenty of dark forest fruit rolls through your mouth. Keep tasting this red wine, and you'll recognize all sorts of things: herbs, tobacco, vanilla, and a hint of cedarwood. The finish completes the picture. LAN Rioja Crianza is a joy to drink.
