91 Points - Guia Penin. Cruz de Alba is made in small quantities and each bottle is numbered. It is made using the best Tinto Fino (Tempranillo) grapes, cultivated using agrohomeopathic treatments according to the biodynamic calendar and harvested carefully by hand. Silky, full-bodied and intense deep fruit are the results of the careful attention to detail and respect for the land. Simply wonderful.

About the Producer

All the grapes of Cruz de Alba come from a unique vineyard, from Finca Los Hoyales, located in the heart of the golden mile of the Ribera del Duero. Only the best Tempranillo grapes are used to make the wines, incorporating agrohomeopathic techniques and hand-picking the grapes in accordance to the biodynamic calendar. According to the biodynamic calendar, the Moon tells us which days to take decisions regarding vineyards: air goes with flower; water with leaf; fire with fruit; and earth with roots. 

Taste

Winemakers tasting notes: This is a wine with a marked deep red colour, topped with bluish trim, and a deep layer. On the nose it is rich in nuances, intense, fresh, with shoots of ripe fruit and spices, integrated with a balanced, elegant and pleasant wood. On the palate it is silky, full bodied and intense, with a long lingering finish.
