Torres Celeste Crianza Tempranillo 2019 (Spain)

Description

• French & American oak
• Wild flowers & coffee
• Blackberry jam
• Velvet texture

Lovely dark cherry red colour with subtle warm toasty glints. Clean aromatic expression, with notes of flowers (wild scrub) and black fruit (blackberry jam) over smoky, toasty undertones (coffee). Luscious and wonderfully velvety. Well-constructed and with the substance of a great wine, supported by the clean, spiced oak from its good ageing.

This wine was macerated on skins for 15-20 days followed by temperature controleld fermentation in stainless steel tanks for 1 week at 25-30°C. The wine underwent malolactic fermentation in predominantly new barrels and then aged on its less for 2 months. It was then aged for 12 months in French and American oak (13% new).

Celeste is born 895 meters above sea level, where the vines and the sky form a magical connection, resulting in a wine filled with the freshness, emotion, and intensity of a starry night.

Food Pairing: Given its smooth, silky tannins and fruit concentration, the wine pairs beautifully with all kinds of red meat, chorizo, and aged cheeses.
