Bodegas Tarón participates in the SIE Excellence Awards
12/06/2024
Our wine Tarón Crianza 2019 has been awarded 91 points by the American journalist James Suckling, one of the most influential and respected wine critics in the world. For us, this score is a recognition of the dedication, effort and passion we put into every bottle of wine we make. Tarón Crianza 2019 is a wine that embodies the essence of our vineyards and the richness of our land in Rioja Alta.
In addition to these 91 points from James Suckling, Tarón Crianza has received other outstanding recognitions that reaffirm its quality. This wine was awarded a Gold Bacchus at the Bacchus international wine competition, a Bronze Medal at the International Wine Challenge and a Gold Medal at the Sommelier Wine Awards. These awards are a testament to the effort and dedication we put into each bottle, confirming its excellence.
This wine is the result of a careful selection of Tempranillo (95%) and Mazuelo (5%) grapes from vineyards over 50 years old, located in the towns of Cuzcurrita de Río Tirón, Sajazarra, Tirgo and Villaseca. Each vineyard contributes its unique character and together they create a balanced wine full of nuances.
Ageing for 12 months in American oak barrels adds depth and complexity, while subsequent bottle ageing ensures that every sip is a memorable experience.
Tasting of Tarón Crianza 2019
On the nose, notes of plum and fresh blueberries can be appreciated, accompanied by a subtle hint of chocolate and hazelnuts. It is a wine that invites you to explore it, to let yourself be carried away by its aromatic richness.
On the palate, Tarón Crianza 2019 shows a medium intensity, with a fluidity and balance that make it very pleasant on the palate. The juicy blue fruit combines perfectly with the firm tannins, culminating in a bright, expressive finish.
James Suckling’s recognition
Receiving 91 points from James Suckling is an honour to be celebrated. Suckling is noted for his rigour and knowledge in the world of wine, and this good score confirms that we are on the right track. For Bodegas Tarón, every accolade is a boost to keep improving and offering wines of the highest quality.
We will continue to work with the same passion and dedication so that every bottle of Bodegas Tarón is a celebration of our land and our heritage.
