CRUDABENDITA CRIANZA

Ribera del Duero D.O,

Background and winemaking

Grapes for Crudabendita were handpicked from clean and clay-calcareous soils and came into the winery at a temperature under 50ºF, perfect to increase the extraction of polyphenols and aromas.
Grain selection was made by hand followed by a selective optical laser to get an immaculate selection finish: just the berry.

Aged minimum for a period of 2 years using French and American natural oak barrels.

Tasting Notes

Ruby red with purple hues and pronounced tears. Deep nose of dairy, vanilla and leather, integrated with refined oak. Glyceric, smooth and opulent palate with balanced acidity. Fleshy, persistent finish, surprising tannins and hints of toast and dried fruit.
