D.O.Ca. Rioja / Heredad de Altillo
Heredad de Altillo Crianza
Heredad de Altillo Crianza is made exclusively from Tempranillo. The Tempranillo grapes are carefully handpicked from small production vineyards from vines over 40 years-old. The result is a superb wine with ripe, red fruit aromas and hints of spices.

Tasting Notes
Vibrant ruby red in colour with aromas of black pepper and cloves, raspberry and plum on the nose and a wonderful powerful but silky palate thanks to the perfect balance between acidity and tannins. A lovely elegant wine with a long finish.
Food Pairing
A perfect partner for all kinds of meat, cured cheeses and roasts.
Technical Information
The grapes are carefully selected and handpicked. The fermentation process is undertaken at a controlled temperature (25-28 ºC) for 10-12 days before they are put through a maceration process (5-10 days). This ensures that the wine acquires its characteristic colour. Finally the wine is aged for 12 months in new American oak barrels, with further time to mature in bottle.
