The Red Wine Arzuaga Crianza is made with 100% Tempranillo. It belongs to the D.O. Ribera del Duero. All these grapes are planted in vineyards over 20 years old, located in the “La Planta” estate. 2013 was a unique year marked by the year’s climatological differences, rains and a very short vegetative cycle; which led us to make a greater selection both in the vineyard and in our wines.
The grapes used for making this wine come from various areas of the Ribera del Duero. The uniqueness of the vintage has made us use grapes from long-aging wines for its production. On October tenth, when the grape reached its optimal maturation point, we began the harvest. The selected clusters were harvested in 15 kg boxes, selected on table and subsequently destemmed.
The grape was vatted in stainless steel tanks by gravity, macerated for 4 days cold and subsequently alcoholic fermentation was carried out at a temperature below 28ºC. After this alcoholic fermentation we introduced the wine into new French and American oak barrels to carry out malolactic fermentation and its subsequent aging for 14 months in barrel. The red wine Arzuaga Crianza obtained the gold medal: -Mundus Vini 2012 in Germany-Magnun Awards in Spain and the Gran Bacchus de Oro in 2016.
Serve this wine at a temperature of: 16º-18ºC.
