Cruzado Honorable Rioja 2021

Sourced from old bush‑vine Tempranillo in the foothills of the Sierra Cantabria, it shows vivid red and black fruits, wild herbs and a fine mineral thread that reflects its limestone soils. Ageing in French oak adds subtle spice and polish without overwhelming the fruit. The palate is concentrated yet lifted, with silky tannins and a long, elegant finish. It’s a modern, precise Rioja that honours the region’s heritage while delivering freshness and clarity.
