Description

Grape Varieties and Origin

Region: D.O.P. Almansa, Spain

Grape Varieties: 50% Monastrell, 30% Tempranillo, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon

The grapes come from 25 to 45-year-old vines that grow at an altitude of 700 to 800 meters on barren, calcareous soils. The continental climate, with low rainfall and significant temperature fluctuations, ensures the wine's characteristic concentration and freshness.

Winemaking

Harvest: Hand-picked to ensure the highest grape quality.

Vinification: Cold maceration and temperature-controlled fermentation for 15 days to optimally preserve the fruit aromas.

Aging: 6 months in medium-toasted American oak barrels, which gives the wine its fine structure and additional complexity.

Tasting Notes

Color: Deep ruby red with violet nuances.

Aroma: Expressive notes of ripe plums, raisins, and black cherries, complemented by subtle nuances of spices, leather, and fine roasted notes.

Palate: Full-bodied and smooth with well-integrated acidity. Velvety tannins and a long-lasting finish round off the taste experience.

Food Recommendations

Perfect with grilled meat, game dishes, stews, or pasta. It is also an ideal companion for medium-aged cheese. Its versatility makes it an excellent choice for various culinary occasions.

Aging Potential

The El Abuelo Crianza is ready to drink now but can be stored for another 5–7 years to gain further complexity.

Conclusion

The El Abuelo Crianza is a balanced and elegant red wine that captures the essence of the Almansa region. With its intense fruit, soft tannins, and light roasted notes, it is a delight for both everyday enjoyment and special occasions – a top wine for discerning connoisseurs at an excellent price.
