Rioja DOCa wines. in California

Cherry and plum can develop into tobacco, spice and leather with ageing. Young fruit-led bottles and mature oak-aged wines offer different pleasures.

Citrus, pear and floral notes in young wines; barrel-aged examples may bring toast, wax and savoury depth.

Red berries and refreshing acidity, with styles ranging from pale and delicate to deeper and more textured.

Traditional-method bubbles with citrus fruit and, with longer ageing, pastry-like depth. The label identifies the wine’s ageing tier.
