Real Rubio Crianza

Varieties

70% Tempranillo. 30% Graciano

Vinification and ageing

Harvested at the beginning of October
Selected vines so as to obtain a fine quality reserva. Totally destemmed grapes and controlled fermentation at 25 – 29ºC.  Long maceration to extract all the  potential from the skins and obtain wines with great intensity. 
Cask-aged for 24 months in French and American oak. Bottle ageing between 12 and 14 months.

Tasting notes

Good depth, garnet colour, with light brick-red hues and bright ruby glints. On the nose, from the first moment you can appreciate the aromas from the French oak,  (cereal, toast, …) which give way to very ripe fruit, with vanilla touches.
In the mouth the wine shows its backbone, silky, flowing pleasantly into a long, lingering finish.

Food pairing suggestions

Ideal with stone-cooked meat and carpaccios. Spicy dishes, casseroles, game and the end of a banquet.
Best served at around 18ºC.
