Bodega Amaren, Rioja CrianzaV

Wine Notes

Bodegas Amaren, meaning ‘of my mother’ in Basque pays homage to Ángeles, the mother of Juan Luis Cañas, owner of Bodegas Luis Cañas.

Ángeles dedicated her life to the winery with a fierce passion to produce only the highest quality wines. In 2009 Juan created a winery dedicated to making wines that represent the pioneering ambition of his mother. Grapes are hand harvested and vineyard plots are categorised according to quality. These wines are so good five of the seven 3-star Michelin restaurants in Spain feature them on their menus.

A lovely ruby red colour, with a clean balsamic nose and nuances of plum and clean oak. Smooth, fruity and spice flavours with toasted oak in the background. Complex and structured. A pleasant finish with red fruits and a hint of eucalyptus and ideal with game, red meats and ripe cheeses.
