Clos de Torribas Crianza

Fermented slowly in stainless steel tanks – skin soak of around 15 days. The wine was then aged in oak for around 12 months. Bottle aged for more than one year to achieve more rounded tannins. The oak stands out coupled with intense spice. If we swirl the wine in the glass, we get aromas which are typical of the Tempranillo grape variety as well as fruits of the forest. Tasting Note: A gentle palate with moderate ageing. The oak is well balanced to maintain the wine’s freshness. Touches of cedar and oak. As the wine ages, smooth tannins come out in the retro nasal stage. Food Match: We have paired this with Aromatic Beef Aloo

The valley is a spectacular landscape to look at and the wine is equally enjoyable. Tasting Note: Malbec is to Beef what Laurel is to hardy or Salt is to pepper.
