Description
It may surprise you to learn that despite Torres's enviable international reputation and presence, the Catalan-based Torres family did not produce a wine in Rioja until the inaugural vintage of the Ib�ricos Crianza in 2006. This 100% Tempranillo undergoes 12 months of ageing in oak before receiving a further six months in bottle. It will offer red fruit notes with oak and spice accents and is a perfect example of the level of craftsmanship and care that Torres insists upon for its entire range.

Tasting Notes
The Torres family portfolio seemingly has every wine region in Spain covered, offering a trusted name to anyone looking to try something new. This juicy Tempranillo blend offers a pleasant mix of fruit and spice with a soft, round texture thanks to a year spent aging in barrel prior to bottling. Score - 3 1/2 Stars (out of 5).
