From the historic Rioja Alavesa region in northern Spain comes the 2020 vintage of Torre de Oña Finca San Martín Crianza, crafted entirely from estate-grown Tempranillo by the legendary La Rioja Alta. Rooted in traditional Rioja winemaking yet refined by modern practices, this Crianza offers exceptional depth, echoing the complexity and elegance often found in Reserva-level wines. The winery’s rare advantage of owning its vineyards ensures consistent quality, allowing this red to showcase the richness and vibrancy that define Rioja’s best expressions. On the nose, this wine opens with a medley of fresh wild strawberries, tart cranberries, and raspberries, layered with subtle undertones of vanilla, cedar, and caramel. Earthy hints of forest floor and a trace of licorice lend further complexity. The palate is dry, structured with a lively first impression that softens into a velvety texture. It finishes long and clean, unfolding with lingering red fruit and balsamic notes that reveal its aging in oak barrels and careful vinification. With an alcohol content of 14.5%, this Crianza is best enjoyed slightly below room temperature and pairs effortlessly with hearty yet vibrant dishes like roasted lamb, mushroom risotto, or grilled vegetables. Its balance of fruit and spice makes it a versatile table companion, as well as an impressive bottle to pour for guests who appreciate classically styled Spanish reds.
