Finca San Martín is Torre de Oña's entry-level Crianza from La Rioja Alta's Rioja Alavesa estate — bright crimson with a ruby rim, fresh and vibrant with wild strawberries, raspberries, cranberries, vanilla, caramel, cedar, and liquorice, balanced and silky on the palate with a long fruity-balsamic finish that reflects the typicity of Rioja Alavesa.
Tasting Notes
Bright crimson with medium intensity and a ruby rim. The nose is fresh and vibrant with red fruit aromas — wild strawberries, raspberries, and cranberries — followed by spicy balsamic notes of vanilla, caramel, cedar, and liquorice from the oak ageing. Balanced on the palate with a lively attack and smooth, silky mid-palate. Fine tannins and a clean, long finish with a fruity-balsamic expression that captures the freshness of Rioja Alavesa. A versatile, modern Rioja built for the table.
