With his vast experience acquired in France and, more specifically, in Bordeaux where he owned 2 castles; He revolutionized the concept of Rioja wine in support of a business model focused exclusively on quality. An obsession which remains intact these days and which is always the leitmotif of Cristina Forner, third generation of this illustrious family of winegrowers.

Tasting

Purple dress. Plant nose on notes of black fruit and more wooded cedar or even tobacco notes. The mouth is ample with a very beautiful material: the tannins, well present, blend with the blackberry and the blackcurrant towards a subtly spicy finish, after having expressed notes of leather and licorice.
