Tasting notes of winery's winemaker

Grapes: Tempranillo, Graciano, Mazuelo

Tasting notes: Azpilicueta is made from the classic blend of varieties used in Rioja wines, keeping its distinctiveness. Vibrant ruby red colour and deep intensity. Complex nose full of fruity aromas like cherries, plums, blueberries and spicy toasted oak nuances from the barrel ageing. Aromas have evolved further in the bottle, largely responsible for the complexity of this wine. On the palate, it is smooth and silky, with a good backbone and great aromatic harmony. Smooth and persistent finish, confirming year after year the elegance and personality of Azpilicueta wines.

Ageing in barrel: 16 months

Food match: Perfect with roasted meat and game, charcuterie and chocolate desserts

Serve at: 16-17ºC
