N.B: Spain has the largest surface
area of vineyards in the world; it is the third largest wine producer. Bodegas
is the Spanish word for winery/wine cellar/wine storehouse.
Rioja is both a region in
north-central Spain and a type of wine, a red blend, with the Tempranillo grape
being the best known and most widely used grape in the blend. A distinctive
characteristic of Rioja wine is the effect of oak aging, without which the wine
would be quite thin. Ondarre Creator exhibits aromas and flavors of black
cherry, blackberry, toast (oak influence), with hints of coffee and spice; but,
first and foremost, what strikes you immediately is its pronounced and unifying
acidity, which holds all the other components together.
What a delicious wine! Taste and See!
