Tempranillo Crianza Martín Berdugo, D.O. Ribera del Duero
Description
Tempranillo is world-renowned for combining its fruit spectacularly well with the aromas of oak. Crianza means a wine that has matured in oak barrels and then also in bottle before its release. - 93 Decanter World Wine Awards - Gold Medal Concours Mondial Bruxelles - Gold Medal China Wine & Spirits Awards Winemaking: The fruit was picked and delivered to the winery in minutes where it underwent a tumultous fermentation at 25°C for 10 days. This was followed by a malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks of 15-20 days. It then spent 12 months in 225 liter barriques of mainly new oak, 90% American and the rest French. Tasting notes: Our Crianza spent 12 months in bottle before its release, thus enhancing the roundness and balance of its fruit, soft tannins and fresh acidity. Its aroma of soft red berries and summer fruit is corroborated precisely in the mouth, leading to a clean, lingering aftertaste.
