Nose

An elegant, complex bouquet of ripe red fruits — raspberry, wild strawberry, blackberry confiture and arbutus berry — with lifted floral notes of lilac and violet. Oak-derived layers of vanilla, clove, cocoa and liquorice add aromatic depth and sophistication.

Palate

Creamy and full-bodied on the palate, with silky, well-integrated tannins and a refreshing acidity that keeps the wine lively. Flavours of wild berries and violet persist through the mid-palate, supported by a plush, almost velvet-like mouthfeel.

Finish

Long and persistent, with a mineral, spiced quality that lingers beautifully, reflecting both the depth of the Tempranillo fruit and the quality of the Sonsierra terroir.

Sierra Cantabria Colección Privada is the flagship expression of Viñedos Sierra Cantabria, a five-generation family winery rooted in the privileged Sonsierra district of Rioja DOCa. Crafted entirely from Tempranillo grown on single-vineyard parcels sheltered by the Sierra Cantabria mountain range, this wine embodies the winery's philosophy of marrying power and structure with freshness and finesse.

The wine spends 16 months in new oak barrels — a carefully balanced blend of French and American cooperage at 50% each — allowing the wood to complement rather than dominate the vibrant Tempranillo fruit. The result is a full-bodied, terroir-driven red with serious aging potential of ten to twelve years, earning 94 points from both Robert Parker and the prestigious Guía Peñín.

The bouquet is immediately captivating: ripe red fruits — raspberry, wild strawberry, blackberry confiture — intertwine with floral notes of lilac and violet. Secondary layers of vanilla, clove, cocoa, and liquorice emerge from the oak aging, lending the wine an aromatic complexity that rewards those who take the time to explore it. On the palate, the mouthfeel is creamy and plush, with silky, well-integrated tannins, bright underlying acidity, and flavours of wild berries and violet that carry through to a long, mineral-laced finish of remarkable persistence.

At 14.5% ABV, this is a structured, age-worthy Rioja that nonetheless drinks beautifully now alongside slow-roasted lamb, grilled red meats, Ibérico charcuterie, or a well-aged manchego. Serve at 16–18°C to unlock its full aromatic potential.
