Overview

For their Crianza, Gomez Cruzado blends Tempranillo grown in the limestone and sandstone-rich soils in the foothills of the Sierra de Cantabria with 25% Garnacha from the ferrous clay soils near Badarán in the south of Rioja Alta. This wine is a classical expression of Rioja, combining the elegance of Tempranillo from the Sierra Cantabria foothills with the vibrancy of Garnacha from Alto Najerilla.
