The Wine
Fans of Rioja’s wines will appreciate the moreish, silky fruit and toasty spice of this classic Crianza. It’s from a family estate, Casa Primicia, the vineyards of which were established in 1973 by Julián Madrid and the cellar by his three sons, Roberto, Rodolfo and Juan Ramón, in 1985. Today the third generation has joined the team and the cellar continues to win many awards. This 2018 is made from strawberry-scented Tempranillo, aged for a year in a combination of new and seasoned American oak barrels. This allows it to pick up hints of vanilla and toasty spice, whilst retaining plenty of exuberant, ripe fruit. Further ageing in bottle makes it mellow, mature and ready to drink. Spot on with lamb chops, a selection of tapas or on its own.
