La Locomotora Crianza is the wine of respected winemaker Miguel Angel de Gregorio (Bodegas Allende, Calvario, Finca Nueva, Paisajes) made for Uvas Felices. Complex, aromatic and ripe fruits and spices appear. Aging in French oak barrels for 12 months adds delicacy and turns it into a powerful, tasty red wine. Clean, elegant and unique.

Locomotora is a joint project between Miguel Angel de Gregorio, owner of the prestigious Finca Allende, and Quim Villa, owner of Villa Vineteca. The original idea was to source the best fruit from unique vineyards (Pagos) selected for the quality of the terroir and the age of the grapes. Originally the grapes were purchased, but later the vineyards were purchased to ensure continuity and integrity. Winemaking, bottling and aging then take place at Finca Allende. The result: very clean, elegant and unique wines are made.
A deep, ruby-colored wine with great potential, a long life, high alcohol and tannin content, fragrant, typically fruity wine, with spicy, smoky, strawberry notes. The taste is silky, velvety, the acidity is medium. It is aged in small barrels, so the aromas traditionally attributed to the characteristics of the Rioja wine region — vanilla, spices, toast, and even coconut — are actually more developed by aging in oak barrels.
