Real Sitio de Ventosilla, now owned by the Cremades family, used to be a hunting estate belonging to Queen Isabella. Today, 500 hectares of vines stand on the old hunting land and produce outstanding wines like this wonderful, full-bodied Crianza. Strong aromas of vanilla, cinnamon and nuts are thanks to a leisurely stay of 12 months in American oak followed by 6 months in French vats. A further 12 months in bottle drift by to give it the finishing touch before it is released to market. Simply gorgeous.

As drunk by judges. A medal-winning red that has pleased the hardest-to-please palates! This winemaker does not follow the rules as far as wine grading is concerned. It is the criteria of the oenologist that are followed, which results in a full-bodied and wonderfully tasty wine, strong in aromas and flavour but smooth and very pleasing. Long aftertaste. Partner this wine, in true Castilian style, with flavoursome meat dishes, chorizo, jamon, or strong cheese!
