Bodegas Ontañón Crianza is a classic Rioja red wine from a 5th generation family-owned winery in Rioja Oriental (formerly Rioja Baja), Spain. This blend of predominantly Tempranillo from the La Montesa vineyard with Garnacha from Siete Caminos is produced from 40-year-old vines grown on the slopes of the Sierra Yergas, around Quel, just south of the River Ebro.

Following a long maceration period, the wine spends 12 months in 60% American and 40% French oak barrels (both used and new), followed by a further 12 months in bottle prior to release. The nose delivers intense black fruit and warm spice, while the palate offers good depth of flavor with ripe, plush fruit, balancing freshness, and supple tannins.

This approachable yet classic Crianza pairs well with roast chicken, game, meaty pasta, and hard cheeses. The wine has earned multiple awards including gold at the International Wine Challenge and Sommelier Wine Awards, as well as silver at the Decanter World Wine Awards. 750 ML bottle.
