"The 2021 CDVIN is a vibrant red hailing from the western slopes of Rioja, which imparts a taut and pristine character. Producers are championing this wine style and labeling their products as CDVIN to elevate Cordovín on the Rioja map. The 2021 is a prime example. Composed of 97% Garnacha and 3% Viura, it exhibits a garnet color and reveals aromas of grapefruit, blood orange, cherry and herbs, with subtle hints of gunpowder and camphor. On the palate, it is dry, juicy and tart, with a chalky texture that offers a refreshing and nimble flow. This is definitely one to savor."

"The 2021 Anza CDVIN was produced with Garnacha grapes (and some Viura) from an old vineyard in the village of Cordov¡n and another one in Badar n, fermented destemmed in stainless steel and matured in used 500-liter barrels. It has the best floral nuances you can expect from Garnacha‡clean, elegant and complex. It has a velvety tannins with a very fine chalky texture, pristine flavors and a long, lingering finish. This is delicious already but should only get better with time in bottle. 1,200 bottles produced. It was bottled in September 2022."
