El Abuelo Selection Limitada 2021

The grapes are harvested by hand and undergo a long fermentation in steel tanks, followed by 14 months of aging in 300-liter French and American oak barrels.

Sensory Profile

The El Abuelo Selección impresses with an intense purple-red color in the glass. Aromas of ripe black fruits such as blackberries and blackcurrants, complemented by notes of raisins, plums, and a subtle spiciness of vanilla, cinnamon, and cloves, dominate the bouquet. On the palate, powerful and elegant tannins are revealed, perfectly integrated with the wood aromas of the barrels, offering a long, silky finish.

Serving Suggestion

The El Abuelo Selección is an ideal match for hearty red meat dishes, meals featuring porcini mushrooms, braised eggplant, and even chocolate desserts. The optimal serving temperature is 16°C to 18°C.

Grape Varieties

The wine is made from 60% Garnacha Tintorera, 25% Monastrell, and 15% Syrah.

Origin

This wine comes from the D.O. Almansa, a small region in the east of Castilla-La Mancha on the central Spanish plateau, about 700 m above sea level. The climate is continental, with hot summers, strong temperature fluctuations, and up to 2800 hours of sunshine per year. The soils are lean and calcareous, which gives the wines their minerality.
