About El Inquilino Crianza

El Inquilino Crianza is a red wine crafted by Bodegas Zorzal in the DOCa Rioja.

Bodegas Zorzal was established in 1989 with the aim of reviving native grape varieties from the region and adhering to the philosophy that wine originates from the vineyard. They currently own 40 hectares near the town of Fitero, where the gentle terrain creates a small oasis among the numerous vineyards along the lower Ebro, thus offering an additional touch of freshness. Of these, 25 hectares are planted with garnacha, while the remainder is cultivated with graciano and tempranillo, along with white varieties such as garnacha blanca.

With El Inquilino Crianza, the winery unveils a new range of wines from its estate in La Rioja. El Inquilino Crianza is produced using garnacha from vineyards situated in the Najerilla Valley, with an average age of 35 years. Harvesting is done manually with grape selection. Once destemmed and crushed, it ferments in 5000-litre stainless steel tanks with indigenous yeasts. The malolactic fermentation and subsequent 12-month ageing take place in 225-litre used French oak barrels. 

In the glass, it presents as juicy, fresh, and brimming with fruit, with garnacha taking centre stage and the ageing process complementing rather than dominating. An honest and vibrant Rioja that goes down effortlessly… and like a good tenant, it quickly earns the right to linger a little longer in your cellar.

2014 El Inquilino Crianza 2014 is deep and elegant red wine with character.

On the palate it is dry and mineral, with a medium body and a lingering and persistent finish.
