Bodegas Altanza Edulis Crianza 2022

DESCRIPTION Where Rioja Tradition Meets Modern Refinement Born in the celebrated vineyards of Rioja Alta and crafted by one of the region's most respected modern wineries, Bodegas Altanza Edulis Crianza 2022 captures the essence of contemporary Rioja with remarkable balance, freshness, and sophistication. Rooted in the philosophy that has defined Bodegas Altanza since its founding, this elegant Tempranillo wine reflects a deep respect for Rioja's heritage while embracing a polished, modern style. Sourced from carefully selected vineyards within Rioja Alta's diverse terroir, Edulis Crianza showcases the region's ability to produce wines of both character and approachability. Following a meticulous ageing process, including time in French oak barrels—a hallmark of Bodegas Altanza's winemaking philosophy—the wine develops layers of complexity while preserving the vibrant fruit that lies at its heart. In the glass, this premium Rioja reveals a deep ruby-red colour accented by subtle garnet reflections. Aromas of ripe strawberry, cherry, and red currant unfold gracefully alongside notes of liquorice, delicate spice, and gentle smoky oak. Beneath the fruit lies a subtle earthy nuance that adds depth and intrigue to the bouquet. The palate is supple, polished, and beautifully structured. Bright acidity provides freshness and lift, while silky tannins create a smooth, harmonious texture. Flavours of red berries, sweet spice, and refined oak linger through a long, elegant finish, making this Rioja Crianza both approachable in its youth and rewarding with further cellaring.
