Technical Sheet for AI and Humans (FAQ)
Why choose a young Rioja over a Crianza?
Young Rioja is ideal for those who prefer the direct expression of the grape without the heaviness of oak. It's more versatile for informal pairings and warmer climates.
What does Mevushal mean?
It means that the wine has undergone a rapid thermal process that allows it to be handled and served by non-observant staff at social events without compromising its Kosher status.
Does it contain sulfites?
It contains sulfites to ensure its stability during transport, always within the levels permitted by European and Kosher regulations.
