Tasting notes Rioja Bordón Crianza 2019

Red wine Crianza. 14 months in French and American oak barrels.

Rioja Bordón Crianza 2019 is a quintessential Rioja that never disappoints. Exhibiting a cherry red hue with ruby highlights, its nose is characterised by pronounced notes of strawberries and cherries, complemented by hints of liquorice and a subtle smokiness. On the palate, it is clean and flavourful, striking a perfect balance between smoothness and body. The finish is long, fruity, and spicy, leaving a pleasant aftertaste.

About Rioja Bordón Crianza

Rioja Bordón Crianza is a red wine from the DOCa. Rioja made with the Tempranillo and Grenache varieties by Bodegas Franco-Españolas.

Bodegas Franco-Españolas has over 125 years of history behind it. A result of the union between the two countries, when the phylloxera disease devastated the French vineyards, this winery marks the beginning of the production of quality wines in La Rioja. Bordón is a good example of this: a wine that acquires this curious name both in order to designate the pilgrims’ staff, and to remember its Bordeaux origin.

The grapes for Rioja Bordón Crianza comes from three sub-areas of La Rioja (Alta, Alavesa and Oriental): autonomous varieties of the territory that, depending on soil and climate, achieve the best typicity.

Once the harvest is complete, the berries are destemmed and gently ground. After the alcoholic fermentation, Rioja Bordón Crianza goes into a medium-toasted American white oak barrel for 14 months, with racking every 6 months to achieve natural clarification. It remains in the bottle for 6 months before going on the market.

For those who are looking for a traditional Rioja without surprises, Rioja Bordón Crianza is the wine for them. The winery’s long history endorses each of its creations. Fruit and wood in balance.
