Tasting Notes
Colour
Mid-deep ruby red
Nose
Traditional style with nose showing crunchy cranberry and dried cherry fruit bolstered by plenty of creamy oak.
Palate
Palate is full, intense with the elegant structure of corduroy-textured tannins and lively acidity supporting the flavours. The wine is perfectly balanced with fine oaky nuances, spice and great depth - a lingering finish with a balsamic edge. A benchmark Rioja!

Hacienda Susar is a unique vineyard in Rioja, this intriguing single vineyard Rioja wine has been crafted using extreme viticulture techniques. The wine is aged for 18 months in new French oak barrels and is suitable for cellar ageing.
