2019 Rioja Crianza, Sancho Garces, Bodegas Patrocinio
"The 2019 Sancho Garcés Rioja Crianza is a lovely wine at a lovely price from one of Rioja Altas leading co-operatives: Bodegas Patrocinio. 100 per cent Tempranillo aged for 12 months in oak, its rich and full, with plenty of cherries and bramble fruit and a touch of spice on the finish. Rioja at its best."
Jonathan Ray, The Spectator Magazine
With the barbecueing season now a-sizzle, you'll need sufficient stores of hearty Spanish reds to greet what's coming off the grill. For this, Sancho Garcés Crianza - an expressive, textured, barrel-aged tempranillo blend made from the regions finest vineyards in the heart of La Rioja Alta. So expressive, in fact, that Tim Atkin MW awarded their 2017 vintage as 'Best Value Red Rioja 2021' from among as many as 1,200 tasted.
Now you've got a glorious magnum of it, too. So get friends round quick and uncork the conviviality. For when burgers cannot be bettered - where sirloins are sublime.
Tasting note:
A classic crianza with flavours of fresh, lush berry fruits balanced by a judicious use of oak. Oak beautifully integrated for extra character, roundness and complexity, giving flavours of cinnamon, exotic spice and wood smoke nuances that swirl around generous red fruit core.
Critic's review:
"Best value red of the year, a small coop in Uruñuela in the Rioja Alta... Sancho Garcés Crianza, Unbelievable and this is pure tempranillo FANTASTIC VALUE FOR MONEY..."

About producer:
This range takes its name from Sancho Garcés, King of the Kingdom of Nájera (which incorporated part of the Rioja Alta and Rioja Media in the 10th century), in tribute to this outward-looking King, with these wines symbolising tradition and adaptation to modern times. This is also a recognition of his efforts to promote the Camino de Santiago, or Way of St. James, upon which huge numbers of travellers descend every year, also passing through La Rioja where they enjoy the hospitality of its people and its good wine.
