CRUDABENDITA GRAN RESERVA

Crudabendita Reserva

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.

Tasting Notes

Robust, complex, and velvety in the mouth, Crudabendita is a delight to pair with grilled
ribeye, aged cheddar, truffle risotto, roasted duck, or beef bourguignon.

Wine Characteristics

Aged exclusively in natural oak, Crudabendita spent the first 13 months in 225L new French oak barrels, followed by another 25 months in 225L second-year American oak barrels, totaling 38 months in oak.

The wine is completed by being bottled and aged for at least 2 years before release.
