WINEMAKING

Displaying a beautiful balance of oak and fruit, our Dominio de la Abadesa Crianza is the quintessential embodiment of our Ribera del Duero properties.
This wine is made from grapes selected from our best parcels of land, comprised of mineral soils located at altitudes of 800 meters. Due to their height, these vineyards experience high diurnal shifts between day and night during the summer, which allow for the slow, even ripening of grapes, contributing to their high concentration of both color and tannin.
Our Crianza ages for 16 months in French (60%) and American (40%) oak barrels. During this process, the wine is kept in carefully monitored conditions with low light and controlled humidity. Midway through its aging process, the wine is racked and returned to the barrel.

On the nose, the wine exhibits intense and complex aromas of mature black fruits, cocoa, and balsamic vinegar.
