Collection

Carus Unum Crianza

barrel-aged red wine

Grape Varieties
70% Monastrell and 30% Garnacha Tintorera, fruit of a combination of the historic vineyards, which are over 40 years old, and of our artisanal viticulture methods and unique climate.

Harvest
The grapes are harvested manually into 150kg containers which then spend 48 hours in our cool rooms at 8°C.

Winemaking
Grapes are table selected, picking only the best, then deposited in tanks where alcoholic fermentation takes place with skin and stalk contact over 10 to 12 days at a carefully controlled temperature no higher than 28°C.

Ageing
12 months in French and American oak barrels.

Tasting notes
Deep ruby red in colour. The combination of these two indigenous varieties produces a complex and balanced wine. Aromas include spicy notes, liquorice, black fruits such as blackcurrants and brambles, which combine with delicate tobacco notes. On the palate, this is a mature and elegant wine with velvety tannins and a long finish.
