Los Carasoles Valle de San Esteban Crianza 1996
Los Carasoles Valle de San Esteban Crianza fra 1996 er en rødvin produceret af Bodegas Castillo de Monjardin, S.A. Vinen kommer fra vinmarken Los Carasoles, der er beliggende i området Valle de San Esteban, og har et alkoholindhold på 13 %.
Vinen er klassificeret som en Denominación de Origen fra Navarra. Denne region ligger i det nordlige Spanien mellem Pyrenæerne mod nord og Ebro-floden mod syd, umiddelbart øst for Rioja. Navarra er en stor og klimatisk varieret region med fem underzoner, der strækker sig over 100 kilometer. Her mødes klimaer fra Atlanterhavet, Middelhavet og det kontinentale indland, og jordbunden varierer fra grus og kalk i de højere zoner til alluvial ler tættere på Ebro.
Vinen er fremstillet på et blend af druesorterne Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot og Tempranillo. Tempranillo er Spaniens primære blå drue, som typisk findes i Rioja, Ribera del Duero og Californien. Den suppleres af Cabernet Sauvignon, en af verdens mest kendte blå druer, der ofte dyrkes i Bordeaux, Californien, Washington og Toscana. Endelig indgår Merlot, en klassisk blå drue med stor udbredelse i blandt andet Bordeaux, Californien, Washington og Norditalien.
Produktionen af denne Crianza indebærer, at vinen efter høsten har gennemgået en lagringsproces på 14 måneder i 300-liters egetræsfade af både fransk Allier-eg og amerikansk eg. Efter fadlagringen har vinen gennemgået en yderligere modningsproces på 12 måneder på flaske.
The history of the wine
Below, you can delve into the history of this wine — its producer, grape, area, and region.
Navarra
Navarra lies in northern Spain between the Pyrenees in the north and the river Ebro in the south, immediately east of Rioja. The area is a large and climatically varied DO with five subzones and spans over 100 kilometres in length, where climates from the Atlantic, the Mediterranean and the continental interior meet.
The area is historically famous for its dry rosé wines (rosados) made from Garnacha with short maceration, but since the 1980s Tempranillo has taken over as the most important red grape, complemented by Garnacha, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah and Graciano. The white wines are made from Chardonnay, Viura, Garnacha Blanca and Moscatel. The soils range from gravel and limestone in the higher zones to alluvial clay near the Ebro. The reds are typically full-bodied and structured with ripe cherry, plum, blackberry, spices and firm tannins, while the rosés are fresh and fruit-driven with strawberry, raspberry, currant and a salmon-pink colour. The area is known as Spain's most important rosé region and a dynamic producer of both traditional and international styles.
Da denne vin blev lavet, så verden meget anderledes ud. Her er nogle af de historier, der udspillede sig, mens denne flaske stille ældes i sin kælder.
