Bright ruby red color, clean and very lively. Characteristically fruity, with notes of red fruits such as strawberry, cherry and raspberry. Harmonious palate with just the right proportion of acidity, freshness and smoothness, with a pleasant fruity reminiscence.

Bodegas y Viñedos Leza García is the third generation of a family saga that dates back to 1920, when Juan Leza Arenzana began his career in the world of wine with a small vineyard in his hometown, Uruñuela. Juan’s natural know-how was picked up by his son, Ángel Leza, and so his legacy has been passed down to this day. Currently the winery is managed by the third generation and a fourth generation is in the process of incorporation.

This wine is made mainly with Tempranillo grapes from plots located in Rioja Alta between 500-700 meters above sea level on different soils.

The Tempranillo base of this classic Rioja lends typical savoury characteristics while the Garnacha Tinta and Mazuelo give it a fruity burst of life! It’s clean and bright and harmonious with the acidity, freshness and softness all imperfect balance with one another. Think crunchy red cherry and cranberries with an earthy vanilla edge.

Food Pairing: Perfect to combine with typical Mediterranean dishes, rice, vegetables, pasta and all kinds of meats.
