Celeste Crianza Tempranillo DO 2017 - Miguel Torres

The Celeste from Miguel Torres is a pure red wine made from Tempranillo grapes and appears in the glass in a deep dark cherry red with violet reflections.

This red wine has a very aromatic bouquet of juicy red and black fruits - especially heart cherries and blackberries. Also on the palate the aromas of the nose reveal themselves and are underlaid by nuances of blueberries, freshly ground pepper and liquorice with fine spices.

This wine is wonderfully full-bodied and velvety soft with sweetly mature tannins, which are well integrated into the full body. The finish is wonderfully spicy aromatic and long lasting.

Vinification of Miguel Torres Celeste Crianza

The harvest is done by hand in September. In the winery, the grapes are first cold pressed and then fermented in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 25 to 30°C within a week. After the total maceration period, the biological acid degradation takes place in oak barrels. The red wine matures for two months on the fine yeasts and is aged for twelve months in American and French oak barrels.

Food recommendation for the Celeste Crianza from Miguel Torres

The Miguel Torres Celeste Crianza is an excellent accompaniment to hearty meat dishes such as braised lamb with Mediterranean herbs, grilled beef or wild poultry.
