Flavor profile

Dark cherries, blackberries, and black currants meet notes of cocoa, cedar wood, vanilla, and Mediterranean herbs. On the palate, powerful and concentrated, yet elegant and balanced. Ripe tannins, fine spice, and a long, complex finish provide impressive depth and structure.

Why we selected it

Rio Negro is one of the most exciting red wines in Spain 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 while still preserving its unique character of origin.

Perfect for

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

Food recommendation

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