Marqués de Velilla Crianza

2006 Vintage

Grape Variety: 100% Tinta del País (Tempranillo).
D.O.: Ribera Del Duero

Marqués de Velilla Crianza 2006 is an intense, elegant wine that leaves its mark. It is very aromatic and expressive with a perfect integration of fruit and wood. It is the result of painstaking work at the vineyard and in the winery based on a respect for the personality of the terroir.

Wine Making
The wine is produced from Tinta del País from “La Picona”, “El Frescal” and “El Charcón de las Palomas” estates. The wine was aged in French oak barrels for 12 months followed for a further 12 months in the bottle, prior to release to market.

Tasting Notes
This wine has a very dark cherry colouration. It has an intense nose of blackberries with spice and a hint of minerals. Ripe fruit combines with elegant toastiness and chocolate notes. The palate is silky smooth, with unctuous mineral flavours and tasty tannins. Ripe fruit adds elegant depth and a powerful finish.

Serving temperature: 18°C-19°C.

Serving Notes: This wine has not been subjected to any stabilisation treatments, so a small amount of sediment may appear in the bottle. Decanting is recommended.

Cellaring: Drink through to 2015.
