The excellent clay-calcareous soil of Rioja Alavesa together with its optimal microclimate, provides the right conditions to grow the most esteemed varieties of wines. Manoso Crianza is an excellently balanced Tempranillo wine, barrel aged for 12 months before release.
Bright red garnet in colour with hints of vanilla and mature fruits on the nose. The palate is all about the balance, with cherry, redcurrant, brambles, toasty oak richness and a touch of liquorice on the finish. Great on its own as a late evening drink, or try with red meats, tomato-based pizza and pasta, lamb curries, or hard mature cheeses.
The Manoso range is produced by Bodegas Ruiz de Vinaspre, a family of winegrowers in Rioja Alavesa. Some of their old vineyards reach 100 years of age, with the average of the rest more than 60 years. Sustainable and reasoned viticulture and a long tradition in the care of their vineyards produce elegant and structured wines.
