Description
Its expressive tannic components are optimised thanks to a gentle maceration and pumping over for several short periods. After fermenting at a controlled temperature to extract its maximum aromatic potential and elegant tannins, the wine ages in American oak barrels for 12 months. Then, the ageing process continues in the bottle for a period of 2 to 3 years.
Region
The name Valdepeñas comes from the ancient city of the same name, situated in a sun-drenched river valley dotted with small rock formations – Val de peñas (Valley of the Rocks). Located south of Castile-La Mancha in central Spain. The climate is dominated by extremes, with temperatures reaching 40ºC in summer and -10ºC in winter.
Tasting Notes
Shiny cherry color. Powerful, long-lasting aroma of vanilla, chocolate, herbs and jam-like fruit. Full-bodied, complex and elegant on the palate, with well-structured tannins and a long, smooth finish.
Food Pairing
A versatile wine that goes perfectly with grilled meats, poultry, game and manchego cheese.
