Wine Description

Bujanda Tinto is a Rioja Joven, which means "young" and refers to the fact that it sees no oak aging. It is made from 100% Tempranillo from estate vineyards in the Rioja Alta and Alavesa sub-regions. These grapes are harvested through September and October and then fermented in stainless steel tanks for 17 days.

Acclaim
The 2011 Tinto Joven is the second release of this wine and is fermented in stainless steel. It has a primal nose of leafy strawberry and red currant that is commercial and uncomplicated. The palate is simple with crunchy cranberry and strawberry fruit and a slight hardness towards the finish that should soften with a little bottle age.
