The most classic Rioja style, a faithful reflection of the tradition of long ageing in barrels and in the bottle. A velvety, spicy and elegant red with intense aromas of ripe fruit and cedar wood
History
Bodegas Criadores de Rioja has had agreements in place for many years with over 500 families of small growers who devote their lives to growing grapes from one generation to the next. The winery is owned by one of the families with longest tradition in the production of Rioja wines, now in its 5th generation. Vista Alegre is the name of our most loved vineyards, located at the heart of the region surrounded by a beautiful landscape
Regional Information
Rioja is the most famous wine region in Spain. Rioja and wine have a relationship that dates back millenia, since the Romans occupied these lands in the 2nd century BC. The marks of grape growing and winemaking have been part of the landscape, since then. The diversity of terroir is reflected in Rioja wines which ranges from easy-drinking young wines to more rustic, fuller styles which are capable to be cellared for years. It is the winemaking process that distinguishes rioja wines from other Spanish wines. Most top red Rioja wines are matured in oak barrels

Really Disappointed

Thought Id try this as it was on offer and Im really disappointed. This is my first review on Ocado and felt compelled to write it as I dont want anyone else to make this mistake. This wine is horrible, really thin, not smooth at all, tastes cheap. We usually buy the M & S Gran Reserva El Duque de Miralta which is gorgeous and less expensive than this. Will stick to that one in future!

A nice smooth rioja

I’m reviewing this product because I got a free sample from Ocado. A slight issue with a split cork. It needs to be opened and left to breathe. Personally, I think there are better riojas out there for the price.

A very smooth wine

I was given this bottle by Ocado to review and as it happens I like the Rioja style of wine very much, I think it often can be slightly “Rough” but still pleasant, this one has all the qualities of Rioja but is very smooth and really enjoyable to drink.
