Vetusta Crianza Red Wine

The Vetusta Crianza Red Wine belongs to the D.O. Ribera del Duero and is composed of 100% Tempranillo grape.

The grapes come from two vineyards, “Carrascalón” and “Haza”, over 20 years old, located at 900 meters altitude with a production of 5,100 Kg/ha.

The harvest was carried out in 15kg boxes with a maximum time of one hour from picking to entering the tank. Production: After destemming, the grapes from our vineyard were manually selected on a sorting table and then introduced unbroken into the tanks. Alcoholic fermentation followed with controlled temperature below 28ºC and spontaneous malolactic fermentation. Once the malolactic fermentation was finished, the wine was placed in first and second-year French oak (60%) and American oak (40%) barrels for 14 months. Finally, it rested in bottle for another 18 months until market release. Consumption: Optimal temperature 14ºC to 16ºC. It is recommended to open the bottle and decant it one hour before tasting.
