Rioja red wines designated as 'Crianza' must spend a minimum of 24 months, at least 12 of them in oak barrels, before bottling. The time in barrel imparts richer spice and smoke tones to the wine's bright red fruit, and helps to soften the wine and make it more approachable. This large format offering of the LAN Crianza is ideal for holiday entertaining, and will be perfect with lamb or beef dishes.
