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 2012 Tinto Joven is fermented in stainless steel and sees no oak whatsoever, and has notes of fresh berries and licorice which benefit from some air as sometimes these unoaked wines can be a little reductive. The palate is uncomplicated, fresh and clean, with well-defined flavors of cherries, strawberries and licorice.”
— Luis Gutierrez, Dec 2013
“Ripe, full bodied, and well balanced; an unwooded wine that is intensely fruity (blackberry, red currant, cranberry), with overtones of tea and pepper. Long finish. Fine value.”
— Restaurant Wine, Oct 2013
