The 2021 Torres Altos Ibéricos Crianza is a refined and modern Rioja crafted from 100% Tempranillo, showcasing the elegance and balance of the region with a polished, fruit-forward style. Aged in oak, it combines classic Rioja character with a fresh and approachable profile. The nose is expressive and layered, offering aromas of red cherry, raspberry and plum, complemented by notes of vanilla, sweet spice, toasted oak and a touch of cocoa. Subtle hints of herbs and earth add depth.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with silky tannins and a smooth, well-rounded texture. Bright red fruit flavours are balanced by fresh acidity and integrated oak, leading to a long, elegant and gently spiced finish. The style is harmonious, versatile and easy to enjoy.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great introduction to Rioja Crianza for customers who enjoy smooth, medium-bodied reds with balanced oak. It’s ideal for those who like Tempranillo, Pinot Noir or lighter Cabernet styles. Drink now or over the next 3–5 years. Perfect with grilled meats, roast chicken, tapas or Spanish-inspired dishes.
