ABOUT THIS WINE

Read Critic Reviews

Sancho Garcés's Crianza is your go-to Rioja for greeting what'll come off the grill this summer. An expressive, textured, barrel-aged tempranillo blend made from the region's finest vineyards in the heart of La Rioja Alta - one that pairs supremely with pretty much anything over flame. And so expressive, in fact, that Tim Atkin MW awarded their 2017 vintage as 'Best Value Red Rioja 2021' from among as many as 1,200 tasted.

Tasting the 2020, we can assure you Sancho Garcés have again kept strictly to form. And that resistance is futile.

Tasting Note

A classic crianza with flavours of fresh, lush berry fruits balanced with very well-judged use of oak. This wine doesn't exhibit powerful oak flavours but the barrel ageing lends the wine extra character, roundness and complexity, with flavours of cinnamon, exotic spice and wood smoke swirling around the generous red fruits.

What do the critics think?

“The 2020 Sancho Garcés Rioja Crianza comes from another tip-top cooperative: Bodegas Patrocinio in Rioja Alta. Made from 100 per cent Tempranillo that spends a year in oak, it’s bang on song and full of sweet, spicy red fruit and a long, warming finish. Even pre-discount it’s a fantastic price.”

Jonathan Ray, The Spectator Magazine

“Best value red of the year, a small coop in Uruñuela in the Rioja Alta... Sancho Garcés Crianza, Unbelievable and this is pure tempranillo FANTASTIC VALUE FOR MONEY...”

Tim Atkin MA (previous vintage)
