Cruz de Alba Crianza displays deep ruby color and aromas of ripe black fruit, spices, and toasted oak. On the palate, it offers balanced tannins, moderate acidity, and notes of blackberry, plum, vanilla, and cocoa. The wine emphasizes finesse and structure, typical of high-altitude Ribera del Duero vineyards cultivated with organic and biodynamic practices.

Description

A vibrant, terroir-driven expression of Tinto Fino from organically farmed vineyards in the heart of Ribera del Duero. This wine showcases bright red fruit and floral aromas framed by fresh acidity and a sleek texture, reflecting the unique climate and soils of the region. It offers approachable elegance with depth, making it a versatile companion at the table.

After fermentation, the Crianza spends 12 months in French oak barrels, where subtle oak influence integrates with the fruit without overwhelming it. This maturation adds gentle spice, toasted notes, and softening of tannins, resulting in a wine that balances freshness, structure, and complexity with immediate drinkability.
