Anciano
After extensive tasting of the best cuvées available in the cellars of Bodegas Navalón, Master of Wine Norrel Robertson selects the wine for Anciano. Bodegas Navalón is amidst the ancient vineyards of DO Valdepeñas. It is a family owned winery, part of a company that was originally founded at the start of the 20th Century by Don Juan Sánchez. Grapes are sourced from small growers to make the classic red wine which is aged in oak barrel.
GOOD THINGS COME TO THOSE WHO WAIT
In the Spanish winemaking tradition, Anciano wines are matured both in oak barrels and in cellar to guarantee the perfect balance of flavours. Great wines take time, so they are only released once they have reached the perfect level of maturity.
