Why You'll Love It
Ripe red fruit, gentle oak spice and a properly refreshing finish make this a reliable, crowd-pleasing Rioja. It has the vanilla and savoury depth you want from Crianza, but the tannins stay soft and the fruit stays lively. Great with roast meat, pasta or a simple plate of charcuterie.
About The Producer
Bodegas Perica has been part of Rioja Alta since 1912, based in the village of San Asensio. Still family-owned after more than a century, the estate now farms over 150 hectares of vineyards, giving the team unusually close control over fruit selection and vineyard management. Its holdings include the La Olagosa vineyard, which lends its name to the classic Rioja range, and the officially recognised Viñedos Singulares of Finca Santa Julita and Finca Valdelascarretas. These carefully defined parcels demonstrate the family's ambition beyond traditional ageing categories, with old-vine Tempranillo and Viura showing the individual character of Rioja Alta's soils and slopes. Perica combines the region's familiar fruit and oak traditions with modern precision and parcel-by-parcel winemaking. From generously priced everyday Rioja to serious single-vineyard releases, it is an estate with genuine depth.
Winemaking Information
The winery's current specification lists 90% Tempranillo, 5% Garnacha and 5% Mazuelo from vineyard parcels in Rioja Alta. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks, with malolactic fermentation in French oak vats. The producer's product information specifies maturation in 225-litre American and Eastern European oak barrels for 16–18 months, followed by at least six months in bottle; another producer page describes 12–16 months in oak. These are the winery's general cuvée specifications, not a separately confirmed technical sheet for 2022. The 2022 ABV also varies between vintage-specific retailer sources. Serve around 15–16°C.
