A vibrant young red Rioja made from 100% Tempranillo grapes. Joven translates as "young" and this style of Rioja is a fruity, simple, pleasing and very easy to drink. This has a very intense and bright violet-red colour. It is a contrast to more oaky styles of Rioja. 

The wine is deliciously aromatic with aromas of wild blackberries and fresh cherries, which leap out of the glass. The palette is very pleasant and moreish. The overall sense if of freshness, with balanced acidity and good structure.

Pair this with stews, red meats, iberian sausages and cured cheeses.
