Buy OnlineA classy and complex Rioja for a very cheap price. Torre de Ona is owned by legends of traditional Rioja, La Rioja Alta, although this more modern red is from a single estate in Rioja Alavesa region. Like their other labels, it offers beautifully harmonised characters of ripe fruit and savoury spice.
92/100 Luis Gutierrez, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (2021 Vintage)
"The 2021 Finca San Martín is a varietal Tempranillo from the younger vines. It fermented in stainless steel and matured in 60% American oak barrels and 40% second-use French oak barrels for 16 months, during which time it was racked three times. It's a typical modern red from Rioja Alavesa with the depth and completeness of the year. It's fleshy and fruit driven, ripe without excess at 14.5% alcohol, with very good freshness and balancing acidity, glossy tannins and a gentle mouthfeel. The wine has less impact from the oak and shows more of the vineyard and the zone. It's very good value for money—and it's the finest vintage to date! "

"The 2021 Crianza Finca San Martín from Rioja Alavesa aged for one year in French and American oak. A rich garnet-purple in hue, it offers aromas of raspberry, cherry and mild forest floor notes along with caramel and dulce de leche from the oak. Fruity and expressive with a delicate red-fruit driven palate and gentle grip, this is a precise, appealing Rioja."
91/100 Zekun Shuai, JamesSuckling.com (2021 Vintage)
"Elegant vanilla, spices, red and black plums, red cherries and a smoky touch. Very fine-grained, creamy tannins. Quite a long, pleasurable Rioja crianza that’s appealing now. Drink now or hold."
