Don Jacobo Crianza 2023 is a blend of Tempranillo and Garnacha aged for 12 months in oak barrels, produced in Rioja Alta by a century-old winery: Bodegas Corral.
Don Jacobo Crianza 2023 has the classic character of Rioja Alta. It is a friendly and well-structured red wine, made with 90% Tempranillo and 10% Garnacha, and aged for 12 months in oak barrels.
It comes from vineyards located on the slope of Moncalvillo, with vines aged between 20 and 60 years, cultivated in bush vines and hand-harvested. This combination of altitude, tradition, and careful field management helps shape a wine with a strong identity, faithful to the Rioja landscape and its serene approach to viticulture.
Bodegas Corral, established in 1898 and with deep roots in Navarrete, maintains a clear philosophy: to express the essence of Rioja without losing focus on the fruit. Today, it works with its own controlled vineyard and benefits from the expertise of enologists like Daniel Hernando Gómez-Cadiñanos.

In this environment, the combination of Tempranillo and Garnacha allows for the preservation of fruit and freshness that define its profile, while its 12 months in oak barrels refine the blend and contribute balance and depth to the wine.

Viticulture

The creation of Bodegas Corral, over one hundred years ago, was driven by the determination of a true-born Riojan, Don Saturnino Daroca, a grower and winemaker, who began planting the first vineyards in Sojuela, a town near Navarrete.
His daughter married Don Martín Corral, who gave the winery its name and contributed his coat of arms as its emblem, which to this day continues to highlight the family character of the winery. In 1974, they built the new winery in the Riojan town of Navarrete.
It will be in the year 2024 when Bodegas Luzón has the opportunity to take on this historical legacy and bring its winemaking expertise from Jumilla to a region of vinicultural excellence such as Rioja.
The philosophy of Bodegas Corral (D.O.Ca. Rioja) is to craft wines that are characteristic of the region, showcasing the essence of the territory, while always striving to keep fruit as the main protagonist. The winery owns 13 hectares of vineyards and oversees an additional 70 hectares, producing 250,000 bottles per year.
