Viña Real Crianza Rioja wine

Production and Aging

Viña Real Crianza is a wine made from grapes from the Rioja Alavesa region, harvested manually and processed at Viña Real. The destemmed grapes are placed in stainless steel tanks where alcoholic fermentation takes place for 10-12 days, with temperature control between 26-28ºC. After malolactic fermentation, the wine is aged in French and American oak barrels for 13-14 months.

The wine is racked every 5-6 months during its time in barrel to promote maturation and proper organoleptic development.
