Bodegas Montebuena Rioja Crianza 2021

Flaskehalsen

Rioja Alavesa er det nordligste Rioja-område, og vinene herfra har gerne en ekstra friskhed. Det gælder også denne superdejlige vin, der er skabt på primært Tempranillo – og en lillebitte smule Garnacha. God fylde og frugt, selvom friskheden er det mest slående. Normalpris kr. 139,95 – Set til kr. 119,95

Winewherever, Rasmus Christensen

Crianza i den helt friske ende af skalaen. Masser af syrlige bærnoter, lidt krydderier, urter og bløde taninner der smelter som bitter mørk chokolade i munden. Afslutningsvis en kalket mineralitet der skaber lidt kant. Her får man Rioja for sine penge.

James Suckling

A hint of white pepper with a minty edge to the plums and cherries on the nose. Bright cherry fruit with juicy tannins before an elegant, subtle finish. A well-balanced and highly drinkable Rioja.

Robert Parker

The 2019 Crianza is Tempranillo (with less than 5% Garnacha) with 14.2% alcohol and a polished and soft mouthfeel with fine tannins. It has Rioja typicity and good drinkability. It matured in 50/50 French and American oak barrels for 14 months. 60,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in March 2022. Very good value.

Decanter

Ripe and elegant with toasty and woody scents, tight tannins and a medium finish. Long, savoury finish. Good potential too.
