Crianza, Prios Maximus

Spain

£22.95

A new bodegas founded in 2000 in Pesquera de Duero. The owner, Felix de Los Rios, has 65 hectares of vineyards ranging from 11 to 65 years of age. Modern and intense wines with richness and character that is a must for red wine fans and shows the quality of this renowned, but often overlooked, wine region in North-Central Spain.

Selected bunches of Tempranillo grapes go into the Crianza wine from Los Rios Prieto. Aged in oak for 13 months the wine takes on a complexity to match the ripeness of the fruit. Succulent, luscious blackberry flavours with firm tannin and acidity, this is great wine for highly flavoured dishes due to its intensity and depth.
