Lecea Rioja Crianza D.O.C.a 2018

£12.50

Crianza literally means “oak aged wines” but for the purposes of Rioja it really establishes the age as they are typically considered to be younger wines. For certification Crianza must spend a minimum of 6 months in barrel but Lecea age their Crianza for a minimum of 12 months. As an entry into the range of Lecea red wines this is a perfect introduction to this magnificent winery. It has notes of red fruit vanilla from the oak but it’s youth makes it a fresher finish than it’s more robust big brothers.
