Bodegas Martinez La Orden Lanzado Rioja Joven 2016
Lanzado Rioja Joven is a modern and appealing fruit driven young Rioja full of juicy raspberry fruits and hint of pepper with a soft and warm finish. This Rioja is made with 100% Tempranillo grapes and is kept in stainless steel vats prior to bottling.
