Anciano Clasico Tempranillo
Terres dels Alforins is a fertile valley in the south west of the province of Valencia and is called the “Valencian Tuscany” due to the scenic rolling, cultivated landscape with historic hilltop settlements. There are a multitude of small plots of vineyards between the sea and the “meseta” where vines have been tended since Roman times.
Hand-picked, perfectly ripe Tempranillo grapes are harvested from higher altitude vineyards located up to 800 meters above sea level. Fermentation is in stainless steel tanks for 8-10 days at controlled temperatures between 24-28°C and is bottled after a short time in contact with French and American oak.A younger, more lightly oaked Tempranillo than the other Anciano wines for everyday drinking. Fresh and vibrant this is a young wine in the classic, food-friendly Spanish style, ready for drinking now.
"Broad and silky smooth with lively cherry and plum fruit flavours. Medium bodied and balanced with soft tannins on the finish."
