Product Description
Details

Always a wise buy, the wine Baigorri Crianza is crafted by the prestigious Bodegas Baigorri from a blend of 90% Tempranillo, complemented with tiny amounts of Grenache and other varieties.

The grapes were harvested by hand, brought to the cellar in little boxes, destemmed and separately fermented in stainless steel tanks. Then this Spanish red wine was macerated with frequent pump-overs and punch-downs.

Gently pressed, this Crianza red wine subsequently completed malolactic fermentation and was transferred into new French (90%) and American (10%) oak barrels.

After that, the wine Baigorri Crianza 2020 was aged for a period of 14 months. Finally, the wine was blended and aged for a further months in the bottle before its release.

This is a modern-style, impeccably crafted Rioja red wine.

Appearance

The wine Baigorri Crianza is medium purple with a garnet rim and some ruby glints.

Nose

Perfectly balanced, this Tempranillo with a brushstroke of Grenache and other red varieties smells of ripe black fruit and fruit compote, nuanced by hint of strawberry milkshake, some touches of vanilla and suggestions of herbs, toast and sweet spices.

Palate

Velvety-bodied, meaty and savoury, this red wine from Bodega Baigorri exhibits notes of wild berries, spices and some remembrances of tobacco, coffee and leather. Ripe, well-integrated tannins, great acidity and a long, spicy finish.

Our personal opinion

From the heart of Spain's most prominent wine region, the wine Baigorri Crianza 2020 combines the traditional character of Rioja Alavesa with a contemporary approach to winemaking.

Excellent producer from Rioja. All of their wines have élan, intensity and life. No melancholy and no autumn leaves.
