Bodegas Perica Rioja Crianza 'Vina Olagosa' 2020

Viña Olagosa Rioja Crianza is clean with an intense colour and cherry red reflections.  Aromatic intensity and complexity, red and black fruit appear with light vanilla and balsamic notes. Refreshing with a mellow, smooth, charming finish.

Rioja Crianza retains a strong and harmonius character, with a light style, good oak, nice toasty nose,and fruit. This Rioja Crianza represents very clearly the ethos of the winery. An ideal wine to be drunk unaccompanied, while it goes perfectly well with cold meats, pasta based dishes, mixed vegetables and cheese. It’s a winner!

Bodegas Perica is a family business that has been producing wine in Rioja since 1912. Now in the hands of the third generation of the Garcia family. The founder, Don Juan Garcia, produced wines that were just distributed locally, but as his son, Don David, took over it became a more sophisticated enterprise with investment in new winery equipment and registration with the Consejo Regulador Denominación de Origen Rioja. David’s nickname in the family was Perica, which was adopted as the new name bodega. Ironically ‘agarrar una perica’ means ‘to get sloshed’… Bodegas Perica own 150 hectares of vineyards in Rioja Alta. With their winery and cellars located in San Asensio, just south of the Ebro river.
