ILURCE CRIANZA
VINTAGE
2021
VARIETY
Tempranillo 53 %, Garnacha 33 % & Graciano 14 %
CLIMATIC YEAR
We are facing a complex vintage, marked by low rainfall throughout the growing season; in addition to a cooler spring than usual. However, as September entered and the harvest began, it began to rain intermittently, which complicated the harvest; making the selection of grapes in the field more exhaustive than other years. Furthermore, temperatures in the months of September and October were cooler than normal, which caused slow and prolonged ripening, resulting in excellent quality of our grapes.
PREPARATION
Harvesting is done manually, while the varieties are each produced separately. The most suitable mix is selected each year from the finest wines produced in our winery. This wine will spend 12 months in American oak (55%) and French oak (45%).
SERVING RECOMMENDATIONS
Consume at a temperature of 14-16ºC.
