The Story
This vibrant and fruit-driven red is a standout "Joven" (young) wine from the avant-garde Finca de los Arandinos estate in Rioja Alta. Sourced from estate-owned vineyards at high altitudes of 500–600 metres, the grapes are hand-picked and undergo a 10-day cold maceration to maximize aromatic extraction. The wine is aged for a brief 4 to 6 months in French oak barrels, striking a balance between youthful freshness and structural polish. It presents a bright cherry color and offers an expressive bouquet of fresh red berries, flowers, and a distinct touch of liquorice. On the palate, it is light, silky, and refreshingly acidic, making it a highly quaffable and modern expression of the Entrena terroir.
