ENATE
CRIANZA (2004)
Location
Vinedos y Crianzas del Alto Aragón, S.A. (D.O. Somontano)
Grape Variety
70% Tempranillo and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon
Vinification
After pressing, both grape varieties are fermented separately at 82°F in stainless steel tanks, with a maceration period varying between 10 and 15 days. Once the malolactic fermentation has taken place, the wine remains in oak casks (American oak for the Tempranillo and French oak for the Cabernet Sauvignon) for nine months.
Bottle Information
- Alcohol By Volume: 14%
- Production: 800,000 bottles 750ml.
Tasting Notes
Cherry colored with an intense and complex bouquet, rich in smoky, spicy tones over a base of ripe fruit. With balanced tannins, this wine is full bodied with a long toasty finish.
Serving Suggestions
This wine may show a sediment of tartrates, so decant gently from the bottle if desired. Served at 60-65°F, it complements smoked foods, meats, casseroles and cheeses. The tannic structure of the wine and the fine balance between alcohol and acidity ensures a long maturation period in bottle up to eight years.
