Bodega Ontanon Crianza, Rioja 2020

I think the wines from this Bodega are just getting better and better! We’re thrilled to now include this Crianza, to sit alongside their Reserva wine that we’ve listed for some time now.

Produced from 40 year old vines grown on the slopes of the Sierra Yergas, around Quel, just south of the River Ebro in Rioja Baja. Predominantly Tempranillo grown in the La Montesa vineyard, blended with Garnacha from Siete Caminos. Following a long maceration period, the wine spends 12 months in 60% American and 40% French oak barrels (both used and new). This is followed by a further 12 months in bottle prior to release. 14% vol.
