Product Description
Details
The Dominio de Cair winery, a brand of Bodega Luis Cañas, produces the wine Cair Selección La Aguilera solely from Tempranillo grapes.
They are sorted from 40 to 50-year-old vineyards located at an altitude of 800 metres above sea level, in a pristine area surrounded by forests, in the heart of DO Ribera del Duero.
Harvested by hand and selected in the cellar, the grapes underwent a cold-maceration in order to extract colour and aromas. After that, this Spanish red wine was fermented in stainless steel tanks.
Malolactic fermentation took place in new French and American oak barrels (50%-50%). Then, the wine Cair Selección La Aguilera 2020 was aged for 14 months.
Finally, this red wine from Ribera del Duero was bottled and aged in the for a further 12 months before its release.
Aerate this Crianza red wine, a great match for meat dishes, 30 minutes before drinking.

Cair wine
One of my all-time top 3 Riberas. Mouthful and fresh, with dark fruit, after eight and dry earth.

A big mouthful of luscious dark fruit
I came across the Cair 2011 Crianza while vacationing on Mallorca a year ago. Since then I've ordered 5 cases to be delivered to our home in Germany. I thought it was wonderful (still have some and still do), and I was worried when Enterwine ran out and was only able to offer the 2012. I needn't have worried. The dark, fruit forward profile is still the same. This is a very similar wine with juicy roundness, the fruit luscious but not sweet or too jammy. The wine (the crianza was aged in oak) has, for me, just the right amount of structure. So, I'd guess it'll last for a few years but is delightful to drink right now (and I had a bottle last night). Enjoy!
