Details
While the grape, Tinta del PaÃs, is better known as Tempranillo, it's a very different beast in Ribera del Duero to Rioja. The great thing about the grape, particularly in Ribera del Duero, is how it can adapt to large temperature differences between day and night, and between the seasons - harsh, bleak winters and almost scorching, arid summers.
The grapes for this Crianza were carefully selected from vines of over 20 years of age from vineyards at the boundaries of Olmedillo, Anguix and Villatuelda
It underwent 15 days of maceration and followed by fermentationat 28 to 30 degrees. After the wine has undergone malolactic fermentation, it was then aged for 14 months in new American oak. After barrel, the wine remained in bottle for another 9 months before release.
