Crucillón DO 2018 - Bodegas Aragonesas

The Crucillón from Bodegas Aragonesas is a wonderful Spanish red wine cuvée made from Tempranillo (50%) and Garnacha Tinta (50%).

The bright red, violet shimmering colour of this wine reminds of ripe cherries. Strong and fruity, this Spanish red wine smells of black and red fruits (cherries, blackberries, blackcurrants, raspberries). The full, balanced and slightly sweet taste is supported by a dense, round body and leads into a soft and appealing finish of medium length.

Vinification of Crucillón Garnacha Tempranillo

The grapes of the Bodegas Aragonesas, most of which are harvested manually and some of which are fully ripe, are first destemmed, mashed and the resulting mash fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. Then the mash is pressed and this wine matures for a while in the stainless steel tanks before it is filled onto the bottle.
