Deep ruby in colour, it shows complex aromas of ripe black cherry, blackberry and plum, alongside violet, graphite, toasted coconut and subtle spice from French oak. On the palate, this Tempranillo-led Rioja is full-bodied but beautifully balanced, with concentrated dark fruit, savoury undertones and finely grained tannins. It finishes long and structured, with freshness and mineral lift carrying through the finish. A refined, age-worthy Rioja Alavesa red wine that delivers complexity without heaviness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTop food pairings:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoast lamb with garlic and rosemary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrilled ribeye steak or beef sirloin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlow-cooked aubergine dishes or mushroom-based vegetarian mains\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eKate Says\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat I really love about UKAN is the confidence behind it. Koldo Eguren and his cousin Eduardo clearly know their vineyards inside out, and it shows in the glass – this is Rioja made with precision, patience and care. It’s powerful without being showy, and exactly the kind of wine you open when you want to slow down and savour something special.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eProducer Info\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUKAN\u003c\/strong\u003e is the new-generation project of the Eguren family, led by Koldo Eguren, representing the fifth generation of winemakers in Rioja Alavesa.
