Reviews and Ratings

Andrew Bernardo rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

This is so savoury and mouthwatering. Loads of plum skin and blackberry along with dried herbs, flowers, and some sanguine notes. It’s smoky and crunchy. I’ve waited a while to open this wine. Tremendous. Price doesn’t dictate quality, at 18.95 it’s a wow wine.
Rachelle O'Connor rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

A pretty perfumed nose - currants, cassis, cloves and smoke. The palate is well balanced with lots of ripe blackberry and subtle undertones of jammy black cherry - lingering smoke on the finish.
Produced by Compania Vinicola Norle De Espana, Viña Real Crianza (2014) is made from 90% Tempranillo, 5% Grenache and 5% Graciano wine grapes from the Rioja wine region. This full-bodied red is smoky with blackberry, dried herbs and cake spice. Pair with a pork sausage cassoulet and roasted potatoes. - Community Wine Reviews
