Description

The fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature of 26-28 °C. The entire process is designed to obtain the maximum fruit expression and pleasant, polished tannins. The wine is aged in the barrel for at least 18 months, followed by another period of 3 to 6 years in the bottle.

Region

Valdepeñas takes its name from the ancient city by the same name, that lies on a sun-baked river valley dotted by small rocky formations (Val-de-peñas – Valley of Rocks). Located in the South of Castilla-La Mancha in central Spain. The area is almost entirely encircled by both La Mancha Denominación de Origen on the North border and Andalusia on its Southern limits. It experiences extreme weather conditions, with temperatures reaching up to over 40 ºC in the summer and dropping to as low as -10 ºC in the winter.

Tasting notes

Deep ruby-red in colour with amber tones. This wine has got a complex and elegant aroma of red fruits and hints of leather, green pepper and spices. On the palate it is well balanced and expressive, with rounded and polished tannins. The wine has good storage potential due to its excellent tannic structure.

Food pairing

It is the ideal accompaniment for any type of meat, stews and mature cheeses.
