NV Marques de Caceres Crianza Rioja

Intense ruby color. Expressive bouquet with notes of raspberries, bilberries and cherries, enlivened by a touch of spice and a depth of vanilla. Charming fruit in the mouth with good structure that highlights concentrated flavors and fleshy tannins. Nice complexity on the tasting resulting in good length. This Crianza is made from our best cuvees from the 2010 vintage and conserves in full the character derived from top quality grapes. This focused red is subtle but harmonious, with well-integrated flavors of black cherry, toast, herbs and spice layered over fine tannins. Crisp and fresh.

Crianza is great with spicy food (think of how a chutney cools the mouth when you’re eating spicy Indian food)

Crianzas’ fruity freshness also makes them a perfect foil for aged sheep’s milk cheeses like Manchego, acting almost like a schmear of fruit jam on top of a buttery, slightly piquant cheese.
