A classic 13.5% Tempranillo-based Rioja Crianza from the Alta region. Blackberries, blackcurrants, and a herbaceous backbone with American oak structure — the quintessential Rioja Crianza blueprint. If you love Viña Real Crianza, you love that polished, fruit-forward Rioja style where ripe dark fruit and vanilla-laced oak work in perfect harmony. Altanza delivers exactly that — same grape, same appellation, same traditional winemaking ethos, just a different house signature. You also get the same food-friendliness that makes Viña Real such a reliable dinner-table companion. Lamb, game, or a slow-cooked stew — Altanza Crianza steps in seamlessly and won't let you down.
A characterful Rioja Reserva from Bodegas Montecillo, built on the rare Graciano grape. Dense dark hedgerow fruits, liquorice, thyme, and a salty, sappy oak finish — structured and compelling. You clearly appreciate Rioja's classical DNA — the regional herb character, the interplay of dark fruit and oak — and Montecillo's Vina Monty delivers all of that with extra intensity and a wild, garrigue-driven personality that keeps things exciting. Where Viña Real leans on Tempranillo's approachability, this Graciano-led wine gives you something slightly wilder and more aromatic. It's a step up in complexity for when you want your Rioja to have something to say.
An elegant Toro Crianza made entirely from Tinta de Toro (Tempranillo) by one of the DO's rising stars. Red berries, ripe plums, tart apple, and soft liquorice — structured yet approachable at 75cl. You're drawn to the Crianza format — that sweet spot of oak-aged Tempranillo where fruit still leads but structure is building. Elias Mora does exactly that, just from Toro rather than Rioja — a wilder, more mineral expression of the same grape family that rewards curiosity. Think of it as Viña Real's bold, sun-drenched cousin from the high plateau of Castilla y León. If you've mastered Rioja Crianza, this is the natural next step on Spain's red wine map — and it won't disappoint.
