Bodegas Don Sancho de Londoño, 'Real de a 8 Tinto', 2024, Rioja (DOCa) Xarel-lo It is a good example'One Liner' A bright, easy going Rioja red with juicy berry fruit, gentle spice and a smooth, crowd pleasing finish. Tasting Note Bright ruby in the glass. The nose leans towards ripe red berries with a little peppery spice and a faint mocha edge. On the palate it feels fresh and lively, with plenty of juicy fruit, soft tannins and enough lift to keep it really drinkable. Rounded, balanced and very easy to enjoy.
