A delightful Rioja contemporary in style, this wine offers ripe berry fruit, savory oak, and prominent tannins. Brilliant to sip on its own or to enjoy with a hearty meal. The name 'Corriente' dates back to early 1900s Spanish language and refers to a class of wines that are authentic to the region and suitable for everyday consumption. This Rioja evokes the original intent of the term.

 

"White pepper, raw spices, dark cherries and ripe plums to the nose. Fresh and crunchy on the palate with medium to full body, underscored by fresh and nicely chewy tannins. Drink or hold."
