Red Wine Casa de la Ermita Crianza 2018
Availability: In stock
The 2018 vintage of Casa de la Ermita Crianza from DO Jumilla is made from Monastrell, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah.
The grapes come from vineyards with limestone soils located at 700 metres of altitude and planted with vines 20 years old on average.
Manually harvested, the grapes were selected on site and in the cellar. After that, they were cold-soaked in stainless steel tanks for about 5 days.
Once both alcoholic and malolactic fermentations were completed, Casa de la Ermita Crianza 2018 was aged for 9 months in 225-litre American and French oak barrels.
A remarkable value, we suggest aerating this Crianza red wine from the Casa de la Ermita winery some time before you drink it.
