Description:

The Hugonell Crianza Rioja 2021 is a fine expression of traditional Rioja winemaking, showcasing a carefully crafted blend of Tempranillo, Garnacha, and Mazuelo. This Rioja Crianza offers an inviting nose of ripe strawberry fruit, with underlying layers of vanilla, leather, and coconut. These elements come together to create a harmonious balance of rich red berry flavours and subtle oak influence, giving the wine its smooth, rounded character. The oak notes impart a delicate spice and vanilla complexity, making it a perfect representation of a classic Rioja blend.

The 2021 vintage was marked by a slightly smaller harvest compared to previous years, due to a mild winter followed by a warm, wet spring that presented some challenges for the vineyard. Despite these challenges, the grapes were harvested under optimal conditions, resulting in a wine of high quality. The official rating for the 2021 vintage was "Very Good," reflecting the excellent craftsmanship behind this wine. This wine is a great example of Rioja’s ability to create wines that age gracefully while offering enjoyment in their youth.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: Ripe strawberries intertwined with delicate vanilla, coconut, and leather aromas.
Palate: Smooth, medium-bodied with flavours of red berries, subtle spice, and oak notes of vanilla and coconut.
Finish: Long and balanced with soft tannins and a smooth texture.

Ideal for pairing with grilled meats, charcuterie, or aged cheeses, the Hugonell Crianza Rioja 2021 offers a timeless drinking experience that embodies the essence of Rioja.

Winery	The fruit for Hugonell Crianza comes from vineyards in Rioja Alavesa, Rioja Alta, and a little from Rioja Oriental. The average age of the vines is approximately 15 years. The soil patterns in the vineyards are a combination of the well-known limestone-clay-alluvial mixture found in most of Central Rioja. Rioja has many different styles, from the traditional strawberry, oaky Bordeaux-influenced wines to some of the more modern, lighter styles. We searched for the best of both worlds – a fruit-driven modern style of wine at the Joven level and more concentrated, typical flavours in the Crianza and Reserva levels. Carefully selected growers from this area produce the Hugonell Joven. The Ondarre winery, located 10km from Rioja’s capital of Logrono, is the specialist division of The Bodegas Olarra Group for producing Crianza and Reserva wines. We are delighted to offer this unique trio of wines with their original, distinctive packaging.
