About the wine
“It's all a matter of time and the ability to listen carefully, understand the soil you're working with, and read the signals that nature is sending you.” This is how thoroughbred winemaker Sergio Ávila describes his daily work.

Tasting note
Cruz de Alba is a modern wine and is characterized by its fruity profile. The aging in barriques gives it a nice balance and a sophisticated structure. The expressive aromas of fresh, red wild berries and spicy notes are combined with a fine minerality. On the palate, the wine is strong and smooth, with aromas of plum, cedarwood and balsamic nuances. Elegant and well-structured. On the finish, the wine is long, silky and fruity with fine roasted aromas
Culinary recommendation
It is ideal with typical Spanish tapas, small appetizers with smoked dried meat, beef carpaccio or soft cheeses.
Vinification
Cruz de Alba is only produced in limited quantities and every single bottle is numbered. The best grapes are used for its production, which are harvested by hand. Fermentation takes place with frequent manual stirring of the pomace hat in small vats. The aging takes place in French oak barriques for 15 months. The “tercios” or third method is used: One third of the wine is stored in twice used barriques, one third in used barriques and the rest in new ones. After bottling, the wine spends an additional 8 to 10 months in the bottle
