Principe de Viana Agramont Crianza 2019

Wine Enthusiast 92 points.

"This dark violet colored wine has a nose of cherry, nutmeg, vanilla and menthol. Persistent tannins are layered around cherry, raspberry, mint, licorice and milk chocolate flavors and a persistent vein of pleasing acidity. A soft note of eucalyptus lingers on the palate."

Grape varieties
Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.

Winemaking and ageing:

Pre-fermentation maceration for 24 hours at 8oC to obtain a good aromatic ex-
traction. Alcoholic fermentation at 27oC with selected yeasts, with a period of 18

days to obtain a good concentration. For this wine, only the bleeding (drop by
drop) wine is used. Ageing for 12 months in oak barrels, American and French.

Colour:
Deep ruby red colour.

Nose:

Fruit aromas like cassis, ripe black cherries and figs with hints of vanilla, coco-
nut, cocoa and cinnamon from the barrel ageing.

Palate:

Balanced on the palate, with a good structure and a supple fruit finish which lin-
gers on thanks to very round tannins.

Food pairing:

Cold meats, vegetables, white and red meats, game, semi-cured and cured chee-
ses.

Recommended serving temperature:
18oC
