The Solarce range represents the estate’s core expression, drawn from selected vineyard plots that best reflect the character of the site in a balanced, approachable style. A sustainable, low intervention approach in the vineyard underpins the purity and freshness in the wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTaste\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBright cherry and plum fruit sit at the centre, lifted by subtle floral notes and a hint of wild herbs.

Winemaker Bárbara Palacios has chosen to work outside the traditional Rioja classification system of Crianza and Reserva, instead crafting wines without those constraints. This allows a greater focus on minimal intervention in both vineyard and cellar, prioritising transparency and letting the estate’s diverse terroirs speak with more precision, complexity and individuality.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bodegas Casa La Rad","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58041946112387,"sku":"CLR10122","price":14.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0272\/9843\/1058\/files\/CasaLaRad_Solarce_RiojaTinto2048pxx2048px.png?v=1707324294","url":"https:\/\/www.perfectcellar.com\/products\/casa-la-rad-solarce-rioja-tinto-2022","provider":"Perfect Cellar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
