Aromatic and perfumed, the 2013 Crianza feels a little fragile. It's a Tempranillo-based blend with 15% Garnacha and 5% Mazuelo grapes; it fermented in stainless steel and matured in American oak barrels for one year. It wants to be the winery's flagship wine, a modern Crianza, with a mixture of flowers and spices that make it quite attractive. It mixes classical and more updated characteristics. The palate is light and feels ready, and as it's pleasant now, there is no need to wait. 700,000 bottles produced.

An impressive 780,000 bottles were produced of this wine.
