Taste Profile

Dark cherries, blackberries, and blackcurrants meet notes of cocoa, cedar, vanilla, and Mediterranean herbs. Powerful and concentrated on the palate, yet elegant and balanced. Ripe tannins, fine spice, and a long, complex finish ensure impressive depth and structure.

Why we selected it

Rio Negro is one of Spain's most exciting red wines outside the well-known regions. The high-altitude vineyards give the wine freshness and elegance, while the long aging provides complexity and depth. A wine that possesses international class yet retains its unique character of origin.

Perfect for

Special dinners, cozy winter evenings, or moments when the wine is allowed to take center stage. A bottle that deserves time in the glass and becomes more exciting with every minute.

Food Pairing

Pairs excellently with beef fillet, lamb, game dishes, braised meat, aged Manchego, or hearty mushroom dishes. Also wonderful with truffle dishes and savory stews.
