WINEMAKER'S NOTE
85% Tempranillo and 15% Mazuelo from the vineyards of Las Canteras & San QuinĂ­n (Alavesa) and La Gargantilla (Baja). Aged 14 months in French and American oak. This Crianza is ruby red in color with ripe fruit aromas of plum and cherry. In the mouth, it has fresh raspberry integrated with spicy oak and vanilla flavors. A great match for roasted chicken, grilled meats and various stews. Winner of the Wine Spectator Critics Choice Award three consecutive years.
