Viña Cubillo Red wine

Viña Cubillo Crianza 2016 is a splendid red wine crafted by the legendary R. López de Heredia Viña Tondonia, nestled in the heart of La Rioja. This wine, housed in a classic 0.75-liter Bordeaux-style bottle, is made from a harmonious blend of Tempranillo and Garnacha grapes, boasting an alcohol content of 13%.

The Crianza classification signifies that this wine has been matured for three years in oak barrels, with careful monitoring that includes two rackings per year. Clarified using egg whites, it is then bottled unfiltered, allowing its genuine character and richness to shine through.

In your glass, you'll find a deep cherry color with ruby highlights, exhibiting a bright appearance and a beautiful texture. As you inhale, the wine captivates with an alluring bouquet where ripe black fruit takes the spotlight, accompanied by enticing notes of tobacco, licorice, and toasty nuances that unfold elegantly as the wine breathes. Hints of spice and fine leather create a complex backdrop, enhancing the overall profile of this remarkable wine.

On the palate, Viña Cubillo Crianza 2016 is smooth, light, and delightfully approachable. The balanced interplay of fruit and toast is complemented by refreshing acidity that provides a lively finish. While the finish is pleasant, it is not overly persistent, making this wine an easy and enjoyable choice for various occasions.

This versatile red pairs beautifully with a range of dishes such as mild appetizers, vegetables, charcuterie, legumes, white meats, roasted lamb, and grilled red meats.
