Pethiox Crianza

Crianza begins with Mencía from bush vines more than a century old, grown in a 3.5-hectare vineyard. Cherry, blackberry and spice define a wine with a rounded, elegant and silky palate.

The grapes are hand-picked in 12-kilo crates and selected in the vineyard and on the sorting table. After destemming without crushing and pre-fermentation maceration at 6 °C with dry ice, the wine ferments with indigenous yeasts for 24 days at 26 °C in stainless steel tanks.

Ageing continues for twelve months in French oak barrels. On the palate, fruit shares the stage with sweet oak tannins. The process is completed with racking during the waning moon, gentle filtration and bottling at the estate.
