2018 Casa la Rad “Solarce," Rioja, Spain

Solarce are the entry level wines from the Casa la Rad estate in Rioja Baja. The large, family-owned estate is located in the northern foothills of the Valle de Ocón, and encompasses 2,000 acres. Intense ruby-red color with violet hues. On the nose, red-berry aromas combined with the aromas it has developed through traditional aging in our cellar. Red-berry fruit, liquorice, blackcurrants and spices. On the palate it is full-bodied and silky smooth, with a varietal flavor and a long, lingering aftertaste of fresh fruit.
