Description
Varela Rioja Crianza is a wine made under the Rioja classification “Crianza” which means it is aged at least two years, including at least one year in oak (for red wines) under the DOCa Rioja regulations.
The wine is crafted from mainly the signature red grape of Rioja, Tempranillo, often complemented by other permitted varieties such as Garnacha, Graciano or Mazuelo. For the Varela Crianza specifically, a listing describes it as “2018 Rioja Tempranillo – Varela Crianza … medium-bodied, vibrant acidity, dark fruit flavors of blackberries & cherries, well-integrated tannins.”
The Varela label typically presents approachable Rioja character: fruit-forward yet balanced, showcasing both the varietal fruit of Tempranillo and tempered oak influence from barrel ageing.

Tasting Notes
COLOR:
Ruby red colour with moderate depth, likely showing moderate rim-fade and perhaps some garnet tones as it evolves.
NOSE:
Attractive aromas of ripe dark/red fruit – think blackberries, cherries – along with secondary notes of leather, mild spice, and perhaps a hint of vanilla or toasted oak from ageing in barrel. (From the listing: “black cherry, leather, baking spice”.)
TASTE:
Medium bodied; fresh, energetic acidity; flavours follow the nose with dark and red fruit, a touch of baked cherry/blackberry, subtle tobacco/leather/earth elements; tannins are smooth and integrated, providing structure without harshness.
FINISH:
The finish is clean and balanced.

Food Pairing
This wine is versatile and pairs well with a range of dishes thanks to its medium-body, good acidity and moderate oak-derived complexity. Some pairing suggestions:
Grilled or roasted red meats (e.g., lamb chops, pork loin) – the acidity and fruit match nicely with meat.
Spanish dishes: chorizo and pepper tapas, roast chicken with herbs, paella with red-meat elements.
Cured cheeses and charcuterie – e.g., Manchego, aged cheddar, Iberian-style ham.
Tomato-based pasta dishes, moderate-spiced stews – the fruit and oak handle the acidity of tomato and herbs.
Vegetables with robust flavours – grilled vegetables, mushrooms, eggplant, or a pepper-based ratatouille.
