Marqués del Silvo is one of Rioja’s rising stars. The wines are made from grapes grown on the estate’s own sustainably farmed vineyards, and in the cellar they intervene as little as possible to let the Tempranillo and the terroir speak for themselves.

Crianza is Rioja’s classic everyday wine, aged in barrel and bottle, and this version has both the depth and elegance you’d expect – plus a price that makes it easy to come back to again and again.

A reliable choice for tapas, grilled dishes and relaxed dinners.
