5 Years Reserva

Fermentation was at controlled temperatures (below 28º C) in stainless steel tanks. This Reserva wine was then matured for at least twelve months in a mix of American and French oak barriques with varying toasting levels

Valdepeñas means “valley of stones” and the town of the same name has a history of winemaking which stretches back as far as the 7th Century BC. Tempranillo grapes were hand-picked from 30 years old vines in late August/early September. The soils are clayey lime with a chalky layer which retains water to refresh the vines. Altitude helps moderate the classic continental climate: cold winters and long, hot, dry summers.

Dark and bold cherry red in colour. Aromas of rich fruit compote combine with hints of cacao, vanilla and sweet spice. Full bodied and packed with ripe berry and cherry flavours. Secondary flavours of balsamic and cinnamon lead to a smooth balanced finish.

Great with grilled red meats, mature cheeses, lasagna and tomato-based pasta sauces. It also pairs well with moderately spiced Mexican or smoked dishes.
