Monte Anaya Rioja Crianza 2021

Monte Anaya Crianza 2021 is a polished Rioja red that brings together Tempranillo, Garnacha and Graciano in a style that balances ripe fruit, spice and subtle oak. As a Crianza from one of Spain’s most celebrated wine regions, it offers an appealing mix of tradition and modern finesse, making it an easy choice for those who enjoy classic Rioja character with a fresh, elegant edge.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows an intense cherry-red colour with ruby reflections, looking bright and clean. The nose is layered and expressive, with aromas of ripe red fruit such as cherry and plum, followed by warming notes of vanilla and cinnamon from ageing in oak. On the palate, it is balanced and elegant, with soft, well-integrated tannins and a smooth, harmonious texture. The finish is long and persistent, leaving behind flavours of mature fruit and a delicate touch of toasted wood. This is a wine that can be enjoyed now for its accessible style, while still having enough structure to develop nicely over the next few years.

Production
Produced in Rioja Alavesa, this wine reflects the region’s distinctive terroir, where tradition and modern winemaking meet in a landscape well suited to structured yet fresh reds. The blend of Tempranillo, Garnacha and Graciano is vinified as a Crianza, with ageing that adds spice, finesse and a gentle toasted character while preserving the wine’s fruit-forward core.

Food & Serving
Monte Anaya Crianza 2021 pairs beautifully with red meats, roast lamb and cured cheeses, where its fruit, spice and supple tannins complement rich flavours. Serve it at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting briefly if you want to open up the aromatics and soften the oak notes.
