Luis Cañas Crianza 2021

Luis Cañas Crianza blended from predominantly Tempranillo with a smidge of Garnacha and aged in oak (40% French & 60% American) for 2 months. The resulting wine shows a lovely ruby red in colour with clean aromas of plum, spices and balsamics. The palate mirrors the nose with layers of red cherry fruits, spices and a touch of eucalyptus on a pleasant, long finish. Pair with a spicy chicken and chorizo paella or cured meats.

Bodegas Luis Cañas has been at the heart of Rioja since 1928 though the contemporary story begins in 1970 when Luis Cañas became the first Rioja Alavesa winemaker to bottle his young wine rather than sell it in bulk. Situated in Villabuena, Luis Cañas utilise their knowledge of the local climate, terroir, cultivation methods and a real sense of pride and dedication to create these unique wines and ensure that only the best parcels of grapes are used.
