Vino de la Tierra de Castilla / Peñasol
Peñasol Cabernet Sauvignon
This is a varietal wine from Cabernet Sauvignon grapes; a traditional variety in the region of Castilla-La Mancha. This French grape variety takes advantage of our extreme continental climate with cold winters and hot summers; its chalky, clay soils; an altitude of about 700 meters; and finally, a scarce annual rainfall.
Among the general characteristics of this grape it is worth mentioning its dense and aristocratic tannins, its deep colour, complex fruity aromas, its elegant structure and its capacity to produce crianzas with ease.
