Region
Valdepeñas takes its name from the ancient city by the same name, that lies on a sun-baked river valley dotted by small rocky formations (Val-de-peñas - Valley of Rocks). Located in the South of Castilla-La Mancha in central Spain. It experiences extreme weather conditions, with temperatures reaching up to over 40 ºC in the summer and dropping to as low as -10 ºC in the winter. The future of this Denominación de Origen lays with its red wines made from Tempranillo; a grape variety that enjoys the ability to age well as crianza, reserva and gran reserva.

Tasting Notes
Deep ruby-red in colour with amber tones, this wine has complex aromas of oak, vanilla and red berry fruit. Dry and warm on the palate, the Gran Reserve maintains perfect tannic balance and a pleasant bouquet.
Food Pairing
It is the ideal accompaniment for grills, poultry, game, pates and mature cheeses including Manchego cheese.
Technical Information
The wine is regularly pumped over at a controlled temperature (26-28ºC) to ensure the maximum aromatic potential and allow the tannins to merge elegantly into the wine. The wine is then aged in American oak barrels for at least 18 months and remains in bottle for an another 3 to 6 years.
