Cherry red, the fine elegant and complex nose gives way to excellent concentration of black fruit and subtle touches of creamy oak as well as hints of roasted coffee and minerals. This is full bodied, fleshy and elegant with plenty of complexity and power. Produced organically.

Producer Details
Jon Cañas (Luis Cañas’ grandson) is the imaginative winemaker behind Bodegas Amaren.
Bodegas Amaren comprises some of the best and highest altitude vineyards around the villages of Samaniego and Leza, where the soil is poor and gnarly old vines produce small bunches, perfect for making highly concentrated Rioja wines.
