Description:

The Bodega Akutain Crianza wines are red wines with a middle aging in oak barrels (at least 14 months) and bottles (at least 8 months). Bottle aging is very important for the type of wines they make, since they require some stabilization after bottling before beginning their evolution in the bottle. They take care of this evolution during the first months in ideal and very special conditions while the bottles rest in their cellars excavated under the vines.

They are wines made to be tasted at the time of their release, still with plenty of freshness and a nice touch of fruit, although they also have an interesting guarding potential ahead (5-10 years in optimal conditions)

Tasting Note:

This wine is a traditional Rioja, with a mix of plum and prune fruit and herbal touch with the wine's vanilla aromas soon evolving and melding into its savoury backdrop. The finish is clean and saline due to the calcareous soil. Benefits from decanting or opening an hour before serving.
