Description

The Karman Tinto Rioja Garnacha, from the historic Gómez Cruzado winery founded in 1886, is a vibrant blend of 88% Garnacha and 12% Tempranillo. Sourced from old bush vines in Rioja's Cárdenas river valley, this wine is a modern take on traditional Rioja.

On the palate, it shows juicy, bright red cherry, pomegranate, and blood plum flavours, complemented by gentle tannins and a savoury finish. Oak is set to background noise and the fresh, perfectly ripe fruit is up front and on display.

Perfect for pairing with blackened chorizo, this fresh and playful wine can be enjoyed now or cellared for 2-3 years. It's a great value entry into the world of Rioja, and a taste of innovative winemaking.

90 points
"This is savoury without being covered in heavy oak char. A wine that would look delightful next to blackened chorizo and bread for soaking up the neon oil. Drink now or will cellar for 2-3 years."
- Shanteh Wale (Wine Pilot)

90 points - "Made mostly from Garnacha from the Bodegas Gomez Cruzado, fruit is sourced from Rioja’s Cárdenas river valley. Red cherries, pomegranate and blood plums, there is a playful feel to the Kármán labels, that seeks to go beyond what traditionally has been done before in search of new limits. There is red brick and clay with hints of nutmeg, red paper strands and Togarashi spice. Oak has been applied cordially with a gentle hum to the palate weight. This is savoury without being covered in heavy oak char. A wine that would look delightful next to blackened chorizo and bread for soaking up the neon oil. Drink now or will cellar for 2-3 years." - Shanteh Wale (Wine Pilot)
