Flavour Profile
Rioja is famous for its mature, complex Reservas and Gran Reservas. But when the locals pour a glass at the end of the day, it’s the silky red fruit and spicy oak of Rioja Crianza that they look to – like this one from Bodegas Altos.
Bordeaux-born Jean-Marc Sauboua has long been our Trophy-winning winemaker at Château La Clarière. In 2006, he started a winery of his own and, with Spanish blood, decided Rioja was his destination. His aim: to make a Grand Cru of Rioja. The old vines lie above 700 metres, some of the highest in Rioja, to ensure an elegant style.
Jean-Marc has won so many medals since 2006 that we’ve lost count. He’s taken home ‘Winery of the Year’, ‘Rioja of the Year’ and ‘Best in Show Crianza Rioja’. And the 2021 vintage has a staggering 10 Gold medals.
Five years’ ageing has created a silky-smooth wine with heaps of dark berry fruit and savoury oak complexity. It’s a delicious pairing for hearty casseroles, roast game or hard cheeses. And great for dinner parties and family gatherings in magnum size.
