The Akutain Crianza is comprised of mostly Tempranillo with Garnacha- is fermented in fiberglass vats with native yeasts and then raised for 1 year and 9 months in used American oak barrels with an additional year in the bottle before release – far exceeding the Rioja D.O.’s aging requirements for Crianza wines. A very good value in traditional Grower Rioja. – –
