Finca Egomei, Carpess Crianza 2020

Finca Egomei Carpess Crianza 2020 is a classic Rioja from one of the easternmost corners of the region, where the Mediterranean influence in Alfaro gives the wine a riper, more generous style. Crafted at the historic Estarijo estate, it combines easy drinking appeal with the subtle oak signature and structure you’d expect from a well-made Crianza.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, Carpess Crianza shows the deep, inviting color typical of a youthful Rioja red. The nose is expressive and layered, with wild black and red berries leading the way, followed by notes of vanilla and cinnamon from the oak aging. On the palate, it is powerful yet very approachable, with plenty of flavor, ripe tannins, and a long, satisfying finish. The wood is present but never dominant, allowing the fruit to remain at the center. It should continue to drink well over the next few years, gaining a little more softness and harmony with time.

Production
The wine comes from Finca Egomei’s vineyards in Alfaro, one of the most eastern and Mediterranean-influenced parts of Rioja. The estate’s historic grounds, known as Estarijo, date back to 1919 and add a strong sense of place to the wine. While details on harvesting and vinification are limited, Carpess Crianza is clearly made in the traditional Rioja style, with oak aging used to add spice, structure, and complexity without overpowering the fruit.

Food & Serving
This is a versatile red that pairs well with grilled lamb, roasted poultry, barbecue, mature cheeses, and tapas with chorizo or mushrooms. Serve it at around 16–18°C, and decanting for 20–30 minutes can help open up the aromas and soften the tannins.

Producer
Finca Egomei is based at the historic Estarijo estate in Alfaro, a site with a unique heritage that once served as a center of activity for aviation pioneers. The former airstrip is now vineyard land, and the old hangars have been adapted into winery facilities, giving the producer a setting unlike most in Rioja. This blend of history, location, and careful winemaking helps make Egomei a distinctive name in the region.
