Ramon de Ayala, Vià±a Santurnia Reserva, 2019

Very classic, traditional styling, with a terrific balance between mouthwatering berry fruit and damp forest floor nuances.

Traditional Rioja, with its Burgundian characteristics and slightly plumper fruit profile, works wonders with food. Simply put, the Viña Santurnia Crianza Rioja is pure deliciousness!

In all seriousness, this property, located a mere 3 kilometers from Muga over in the Rioja Alavesa, really over-delivers when it comes to consistently making wonderful Crianza, with impeccable balance and typicity, for an incredibly fair price.

This wine is produced in comparably tiny quantities for Rioja, 5,000 cases, all the more reason to get stuck in.

Viña Santurnia Reserva is aged for 24 months in 225 liter American (80%) and French (20%) oak barrels.
