    The 2024 Carra Santo Domingo, from vines planted in 1929, blends 50% Garnacha, 10% Tempranillo and 40% white varieties of Rioja, with up to 30% whole clusters. Pink grapefruit, violet and lavender shape its beautifully floral, fruit-driven profile in an expressive, luminous register. On the palate, it is dry and vibrant, slender and agile, with fresh energy and delicate fruit expression. Though slightly compact, it finishes with liveliness and animation.
