Casajús Crianza

Casajús Crianza - This wine is made from 100% Tempranillo grapes from vineyards planted by our family more than 50 years ago in the Quintana del Pidio area, located in the heart of Ribera del Duero. The grapes for this wine are of exceptional quality and fully ripe. The grapes have balanced acidity and high phenolic parameters, meaning they are high in tannins. Tannins are substances that give the wine a full and complex flavour. The grapes are destemmed and fermented in small stainless steel tanks of 10,000 and 20,000 litres capacity. This helps to strictly control the temperature, which is a determining factor during the production of this wine. After fermentation, the wine rests for 14 months in French and American oak barrels. The oak barrels give the wine a complex flavour and help soften the tannins. The wine is ready to drink and can be stored for years to come. It is a perfect wine to drink with meat, fish and poultry.
