{"product_id":"castillo-labastida-rioja-crianza-2021","title":"Castillo Labastida Rioja Crianza 2021","description":"Superb, silky Crianza with intense cherry fruit mingling with vanilla oak from the Rioja Alavesa\u003cbr\u003eSavour deep cherry and blackberry fruit, with a touch of vanilla oak, in this irresistibly silky Crianza. Crafted by the award-winning Castillo Labastida, it's from Rioja’s high, Atlantic-cooled Alavesa – the last region to be harvested each year.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eLabastida is a beautiful medieval village in Rioja Alavesa, prized for its pebbly limestone soils and patchwork of tiny vineyards. It is best known for the single-vineyard Rioja Las Beatas, the only Spanish wine awarded 100 points by fine wine critic James Suckling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCastillo Labastida enjoys similar growing conditions to Las Beatas, but it costs a tiny fraction of the price. A high altitude, plus cool breezes from the nearby mountains, slow the ripening, resulting in silky, elegant wines with red fruit intensity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt even benefits from the same expertise. Javier Cereceda, the winemaker at Castillo Labastida, did his apprenticeship under the great Telmo Rodrigues Las Beatas fame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAged for a year in oak, and a further three in bottle, this silky Crianza offers lush ripe blackberry and cherry fruit with notes of toasted coconut. Enjoy with lamb or Spanish rice dishes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Laithwaites Direct Wines HK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53156563517551,"sku":"4220821","price":229.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.directwines.com.hk\/zh-hans\/products\/castillo-labastida-rioja-crianza-2021","provider":"Laithwaites Direct Wines HK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
